International Research Opportunities

Below is a list of websites with links to short-term international research/funding opportunities for early-career researchers. The list below was created as a starting point, and does not encapsulate all the various opportunities available to early-career researchers. Please keep in mind one of the best ways to secure an international research position is to contact a researcher you would like to work with. Please read carefully through the eligibility requirements for each opportunity. Some programs have restrictions based on your home country, require you to find an advisor, or require you to secure 3rd party funding. Additionally, all opportunities are not directly related to Venus, and may not be directly related to planetary.
