There are several ways to join the lab as a postdoctoral fellow in astrobiology!

As opportunities funded by current grants arise, they will be posted here. In addition, prospective postdocs can apply for funding through programs like the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP), which offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology. Annual NASA Postdoctoral Program astrobiology application deadlines are March 1 and November 1.

Our graduate program provides students of diverse backgrounds with the opportunity to intensely engage in research in the biological sciences and contribute to the broader scientific community. Applications due in December of each year. Link for more information! The lab will be recruiting new graduate students in the 2024-2025 application cycle!

The Laidlaw Foundation partners with world-leading universities, including Georgetown, to select up to 25 outstanding undergraduates at each institution annually for the Laidlaw Undergraduate Leadership and Research Scholarship. Applications for freshmen and sophomores open in November of each year. More information can be found at this link!
