ESA Research Fellowship in Space Science
(Postdoctoral Fellowships)
We are pleased to announce the 2025 Call for Applications for
the European Space Agency's Research Fellowships in Space
Science. We expect to hire 5 to 6 postdoctoral fellows who
will start their fellowship in fall 2026.
The deadline for applications is 22 September 2025.
ESA's postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme offers
early-career researchers the possibility to carry out
independent research in a variety of disciplines. Research
Fellowships in Space Science offer the opportunity to
contribute to ESA's endeavour to explore our Solar System and
the Universe in the fields of heliophysics, planetary science,
astrophysics, and fundamental physics.
ESA Research Fellow contracts have a maximum duration of three
years. Projects initially last two years and are frequently
extended to a third year upon submission of a dedicated
proposal.
Research Fellowships in Space Science can be located at any of
the following institutes:
- European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Villafranca del
Castillo near Madrid, Spain
- European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in
Noordwijk, the Netherlands
- ESA Office at Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in
