NASA’s Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowship

Established in 2009, NASA's Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowship program is named after pioneering solar researcher John A. “Jack” Eddy.  The two-year fellowship is designed to train the next generation of heliophysics researchers. It matches early-career PhDs with experienced scientists at U.S. host research institutions.

This fellowship is sponsored by the NASA Living With a Star program, in partnership with Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
