Harvard Fellowship for Future Faculty Leaders

Applications for the fifth cohort of the Harvard Postdoctoral Fellowship for Future Faculty Leaders (FFL) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) are currently open. Working within the Department of Astronomy, fellows will develop independent research and earn experience that will launch their careers as faculty leaders. This includes forming a vision of broad impact and preparing for success in the next levels of academic research. Fellows will benefit from access to Harvard’s observational and computing facilities, mentoring in research and professional development from primary faculty sponsors, collaborations within the large community of CfA scientists, and opportunities for teaching and public outreach. This is a three­year fellowship, with yearly appointments contingent on satisfactory performance.

The Fellowship for Future Faculty Leaders is part of an initiative to prioritize social justice in scientific research related to astronomy. They seek individuals who will develop and carry out an independent research program in astronomy, and whose research will also contribute to increasing representation and inclusion in this field.
