Educating the Next Generation of Scientists
TRISH strives to support the next generation of space health scientists in launching them into their careers. TRISH offers career development resources, educational materials, and fellowships in order to ensure future scientists are well-equipped and ready to solve the challenges of human spaceflight.
America’s future is in space exploration, and it’s time to invest in the scientists that will bring forward ground-breaking advances to enable that exciting future. - Dr. Dorit Donoviel, TRISH executive director.
TRISH Academy of Bioastronautics
As a TRISH postdoctoral fellow or in a TRISH-funded lab, postdocs are invited to participate in the TRISH Academy of Bioastronautics. The Academy of Bioastronautics offers a mentorship community for space health professionals where they may discuss career development, practice presentations, and connect with others in the field.
The Academy of Bioastronautics
TRISH’s virtual Academy of Bioastronautics provides scientific and practical mentorship and guidance to TRISH's postdoctoral fellows - and all postdocs working on TRISH-funded projects.
TRISH Postdoctoral Fellowship
TRISH’s postdoctoral fellowship program supports early career scientists pursuing research with the potential to reduce the health risks associated with spaceflight and improve performance. Selected fellows will participate in TRISH’s Academy of Bioastronautics, a mentorship community for space health professionals, and receive a two-year salary stipend. The Institute views its postdoctoral fellowship as a tool to develop the next generation of space biomedical researchers.
“TRISH is a launch pad for exceptional postdoctoral fellows investigating new ways to protect human health,” said Rachael Dempsey, education officer for TRISH. “Space health science leads to innovations that help humans thrive, wherever they explore. Our institute is committed to building a diverse and engaged workforce prepared for humanity’s future in space.”
