Description
The Heising-Simons 51 Pegasi b Fellowship is a highly competitive, externally funded postdoctoral program supporting innovative research in exoplanet science. Fellows who select Carnegie Science as their host institution may conduct their research at either the Earth and Planets Laboratory in Washington, DC, the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, CA, or split their time between both. The fellowship provides access to advanced telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, high-performance computing resources, and institutional memberships such as SDSS-V. Fellows are encouraged to pursue independent research in exoplanet detection, characterization, theory, or instrumentation, and to engage actively with Carnegie’s vibrant scientific community.
