The CfA combines the resources and research facilities of the Harvard College Observatory and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under a single director, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Young scientist fellows will be supported by facilities all over the world, laboratories, a library system, and access to data on space missions. Fellows will research their own ideas and will also strive to be published in major astronomy journals.

The stipend for 2017-2018 will be approximately $67,500 with a research budget of $16,000. Funds are also provided for health benefits and relocation expenses.
