About this opportunity

The Newkirk Fellowship is named in honor of Gordon A. Newkirk Jr., astrophysicist, creator of the HAO white-light coronagraph and a former HAO director. This fellowship program has supported graduate research at HAO for decades. The main objective of the Newkirk fellowship is to foster new collaborations or strengthen existing ones between NSF NCAR and the University community, both in the US and abroad. This is done by identifying external research programs and scientists whose work already overlaps with NSF NCAR's mission, or which can augment NSF NCAR's capabilities towards achieving new mission-critical objectives. The Newkirk Fellowship provides financial support for research visits to HAO allowing for 3–6 months per year in a single visit. The total supported visit length is 9 months, which can be spread out over up to three years. HAO Newkirk Fellows will work with guidance from HAO scientists and engineers on projects related to their thesis, qualifying exams, or other research projects. During this time Newkirk Fellows will have access to state-of-the-art observational and computational facilities in their thesis work.
