The new Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) at Northwestern University invites applications for Center Postdoctoral Fellowships. Fellows will be expected to work independently and pursue an interdisciplinary research program in any area of astrophysics that potentially intersects with other fields such as computer science, applied math, planetary science, astrobiology, chemistry, or electrical engineering. In addition to astrophysicists we encourage applications from recent Ph.D. graduates in those other fields who are interested in switching to astrophysics and/or applying their knowledge from another field to astrophysical problems. More information about CIERA and its activities can be found at http://ciera.northwestern.edu

The Community Science Fellowship (CSF) and the Community Teaching Fellowship (CTF) was established to provide individuals who wish to exist at the forefront of science education and outreach in relation to population needs and community issues with an opportunity to explore their interests in public education, museum philanthropic efforts, public and social policy, youth development, and science outreach advocacy. The fellowship program concentrates on these areas of informal science education as they impact on problems of our communities and is intended to address rising issues in science education inequity. In addition to building professional qualities and academic qualifications that characterize the best agents of change in our profession, fellows are expected to help shape policies and lead research in cross-cultural and community science. They will be equipped with skills to improve programming for diverse populations in their own communities.
