The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) invites applications for the 2025 Jansky Fellowship Program. The Jansky Fellowships support outstanding early career scientists to conduct independent research that is broadly related to the NRAO's mission.
The Jansky Fellow will have a unique opportunity to contribute to, and learn from, the development and delivery of the largest and most capable radio telescopes in the world. Candidates with interests in radio astronomy techniques, instrumentation, computation, and theory are encouraged to apply.
The Jansky Fellowship Program provides numerous opportunities for early career scientists to acquire deep knowledge and understanding of the state-of-the-art radio astronomy science and instrumentation, to engage in activities related to the development and delivery of radio astronomy techniques and capabilities, and to contribute to the NRAO's research environment.
The Fellows are expected to establish themselves as innovative, independent research scientists and engineers, and become the top leaders in the field.
Appointments may be made at the three internal NRAO/GBO sites (Socorro NM, Charlottesville VA, and Green Bank WV). Applicants should describe how their research or technical interests couple with NRAO's mission, telescopes or science.
In compelling cases, a split appointment Jansky Fellowship between a U.S. based university and an NRAO site, or a non-resident Jansky Fellowship hosted at a university within the United States, may be offered.
Non-resident Jansky Fellows are expected to develop a research program that fosters close ties with the NRAO, and describe how residence at their proposed host university will accomplish this.
Frequent and/or long-term visits to NRAO sites during the non-resident Fellowship are strongly encouraged. NRAO supports partial teleworking arrangements for scientific postdoctoral fellows.
The Jansky Fellowship appointment will be awarded initially for a two-year period, renewable for a third year. The salary is at the level comparable with other prestigious U.S. postdoctoral fellowships.
In addition, Jansky Fellows are allocated USD17000 per year for travel and other research expenses, and further USD3000 per year will be provided to non-NRAO hosts of the Fellows to defray local institutional expenses.
AUI's benefits package addresses the needs of employees and their families with most benefits beginning on the first day of employment.
AUI provides excellent paid time off (13 holidays, annual accrual of up to 24 vacation days and 15 sick days, additional time off for doctor/dentist visits, and 8 weeks of paid parental leave).
Medical, dental and vision plans are effective on the first day of employment.
AUI's retirement benefit contributes an amount equal to 10 percent of a qualified participant's base pay with no required employee contribution; we also offer an optional supplemental, tax-deferred plan for employee retirement contributions.
AUI is committed to professional development and we offer tuition reimbursement as well as a professional development pool for non-degree related classes, seminars, and conferences.
Successful applicants are eligible for relocation assistance and US visa sponsorship (if applicable).
