Faculty and professional visits to NCAR & UCAR

Atmospheric, Earth system, and social science

ASP Faculty Fellowship Program
NCAR Advanced Study Program
University faculty identify an NCAR collaborator and then apply for residencies of three months to one year; preference is given to early career faculty and those at UCAR member universities and academic affiliates. Students (undergraduate, graduate) or postdoctoral fellows may accompany the faculty member for part or all of the visit. NCAR staff may also apply to visit universities (see below).

Solar and upper atmospheric research

HAO Scientific Visitors Program
NCAR/ESSL High Altitude Observatory
HAO research spans the solar interior, atmosphere, corona and heliosphere, plus Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, as well as those of other planets. Radiative transfer, hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, radiation hydrodynamics, and plasma physics are pursued both for their fundamental physical interest and for their applications to these research areas. Participants collaborate with members of the HAO scientific staff and other long-term visitors on these topics during visits lasting from a few days to a year.
