About this position

Washington University in St. Louis is inviting applications for a McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow to carry out independent research in the broad field of space sciences. The fellowship is hosted by the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences (MCSS) and is framed as a research opportunity for a postdoctoral scholar with interests spanning multiple branches of planetary and space-related science.

The advertised research scope is intentionally broad. The center welcomes candidates working in astromaterials, cosmochemistry, meteoritics, experimental, theoretical, or observational astrophysics, planetary science, particle and nuclear physics, cosmology and gravitation, and Earth as a Planet. Applicants are asked to describe their research interests and to identify possible collaborators from among the MCSS faculty fellows, indicating that the successful fellow will join an active interdisciplinary research environment across the center’s space sciences community.

The position is a postdoctoral fellowship, planned to start in July 2027, with an initial one-year term and the possibility of renewal for a second year. The annual salary is supplemented with additional support for research expenses and travel, reinforcing the fellowship’s emphasis on sustained independent research, scholarly collaboration, and conference or project-related mobility.

The application package includes a curriculum vitae, a short statement on contributions to up to three selected publications, a two-page research proposal, and the names and contact details for three professional referees. Referees are expected to upload their letters directly through the application system. Questions about the search or process may be directed to the center contact listed in the advert.

Funding details
