Description
Carnegie Science is an eligible host institution for the Heising-Simons 51 Pegasi b Fellowship. Fellows pursue research topics of their choice and may work at the Earth and Planets Laboratory, the Carnegie Science Observatories, or both. At the Observatories, the program offers opportunities to collaborate with observational astronomers, theoretical astrophysicists, and on-site engineers to develop instruments and observing strategies that advance exoplanet detection and characterization.
The Observatories provides access to Carnegie’s observing facilities in Chile on the same basis as scientific staff, alongside high-performance and local computing resources. These resources are also available to externally funded fellows, supporting research that combines observational, theoretical, and instrumentation work.
