IPS supports long-duration visits by planetary scientists and postdoctoral research opportunities.

Visiting Scientists

If you wish to visit IPS for a duration of less than 2 months, you should contact the IPS faculty member most closely associated to your research interest to learn about our visiting scientist opportunities. If you wish to visit for more than two months (including stays during a sabbatical), IPS may be able to partially or completely fund your visit here (via reimbursement of local lodging and perdeim expenses and/or travel to and from Vancouver).
  See the Visitors list under the People link for a list of past, current, and future IPS visitors.
