Training the Next Generation of Astronomers

In addition to developing new techniques for discovering the Universe, the Dunlap Institute is producing the next generation of astronomers.

We achieve this through a variety of programs: the Dunlap Fellowship Program, graduate student scholarships, Instrumentation School, and Summer Student Program.

By training our faculty, staff and postdoctoral fellows in the latest pedagogical techniques, we aim to produce the highest calibre of students who will lead the teams that will solve the instrumentation and observational challenges of tomorrow. We also provide innovative training programs to astronomers around the world to help them solve major challenges in astronomical instrumentation.
