ESA Postdoctoral Fellowships in Space Science
The European Space Agency awards several postdoctoral fellowships each
year. The aim of these fellowships is to provide young scientists, holding
a PhD or the equivalent degree, with the means of performing space science
research in fields related to the ESA Science Programme. Areas of research
include planetary science, astronomy and astrophysics, solar and
solar-terrestrial science, plasma physics and fundamental physics. The
fellowships are tenable at the European Space Research and Technology
Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands, or at the European Space
Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Villafranca del Castillo, near Madrid, Spain.
Applications are now solicited for fellowships in space science to begin
in the summer or fall of 2009. Preference will be given to applications
submitted by candidates within five years of receiving their PhD.
Candidates not holding a PhD yet are encouraged to apply, but they must
provide evidence of receiving their degree before starting the fellowship.
The deadline for applications is 1 October 2008.
