What happened to the Spitzer Fellowship Program? What is the Hubble Postdoctoral Fellowship Program?
NASA is pleased to announce a new postdoctoral fellowship program, the Hubble Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, to support outstanding postdoctoral scientists whose research is broadly related to NASA Cosmic Origins scientific goals as addressed by any of the missions in this program: the Herschel Space Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope (HST), James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The new Hubble Fellowship program is an amalgamation of the pre-existing Hubble and Spitzer Fellowship programs, and an opportunity to support wider research efforts that are related to other missions that fall within NASA’s Cosmic Origins science theme, Herschel, SOFIA and JWST. NASA also announces two other theme-based fellowship programs: the Einstein Fellowships (incorporating the pre-existing Chandra and GLAST Fellowship Programs) and the Carl Sagan Fellowships to support research encompassed by Physics of the Cosmos
