Let's go further. Together.
ORAU provides support to almost 1,500 postdoctoral fellows and researchers at federal agencies, such as NASA and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Since 1951, we have been committed to enabling and enhancing career paths for those just launching their scientific careers to senior scientists who are building experience while furthering the missions of research organizations around the country.
ORAU maintains a robust technical infrastructure and experienced education and operations staff to professionally administer every aspect of a premier internship, fellowship, research, or contractual program, including:
Maurice Roots, Ph.D., was six years old when he watched “Star Trek” and decided to be a physicist. His dream came true and today he is an atmospheric physicist in the NASA Postdoctoral Program researching atmospheric chemistry and dynamics at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Roots discusses why his research is important, what it means for all of us, and the career and education path that led him to NASA.
NASA’s Artemis space flight missions will return human beings to the moon and, one day, allow for the possibility of humans landing on Mars. Artemis fuels the missions of scientists and researchers across the country, and ORAU is proud to play a role in supporting their vital work.
