The Frontier Development Lab (FDL) is a public private partnership between NASA, the SETI Institute, Trillium Technologies and leaders in commercial AI, space exploration and Earth science. FDL applies AI technologies to science to push the frontiers of research and develop new tools to help solve challenges that are important to NASA’s space exploration and science goals - and all humankind.
FDL tackles knowledge gaps in space science by pairing machine learning experts with domain experts. Research teams are supported by compute, data and advisory from our private sector partners for an intensive eight week, paid research sprint over the summer between 21 June - 13 August 2021.
Researchers will receive a stipend. We are looking for post-doc or doctorate researchers with experience and interest in the following challenge areas:
- Heliophysics
- Astrobiology
- Earth Science
- Lunar Exploration
- Mission Operations
- Astronaut Health
The closing date for applications is Friday 2 April, although we encourage you to apply sooner.

We are also running FDL Europe with ESA. The challenge focus will be Earth Observation, planetary digital twins, and mission operations (www.fdleurope.org).
