The NASA Fellowship in the History of Space Technology, offered by SHOT and supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) History Division, will, funding pending, fund one predoctoral or postdoctoral fellow for up to one academic year to undertake a research project related to the history of space technology. The fellowship may support advanced research related to all aspects of space history, leading to publications on the history of space technology broadly considered, including cultural and intellectual history, institutional history, economic history, history of law and public policy, and history of engineering and management.

Duration

1 year

Funding

$21,500USD

The stipend is $21,250 for a six- to nine-month fellowship, which includes travel expenses. The fellowship income is classified as stipendiary–there are no provisions for paying fringe benefits or withholding taxes–and will be disbursed in equal payments over the term of the fellowship. Funds may not be used to support tuition or fees.
Eligibility

Applicants must possess a PhD in history or in a closely related field, or be enrolled as a student (having completed all coursework) in a doctoral degree-granting program.
