ESA presents the 2021 Space Science Research Fellows

ESA has selected 10 new Fellows to pursue their own independent research in 2021. The Research Fellowships in Space Science represent one of the highlights of the ESA Science programme. Early career postdoctoral scientists are offered the unique opportunity to carry out advanced research related to the space science areas covered by ESA Science missions at one of three ESA establishments (ESAC, ESTEC or STScI) for a period of up to three years.

The 2021 Research Fellows in Space Science are Eleni Bohacek, Katja Fahrion, Maximilian N. Günther, Laura A. Hayes, Chris Nelson, Quentin Nénon, Anna Francesca Pala, Lucie Riu, Victor See, and Jack Wright. The research areas that they cover span a broad range of topics, including mapping the surface of Mars, evaluating the habitability of exoplanets, probing the upper atmosphere of our own Sun, and studying the assembly history of whole galaxies. More information about the Fellows and their research can be found here.

The call for the 2022 Space Science Research Fellowships has just been issued, with an application deadline on 27 September 2021. For more information, see: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/space-science-faculty/opportunities/research-fellowships
