Mars University (MarsU) is an international academic and research organisation that is the first school on Earth dedicated to making life multi-planetary. Our mission to unite students, researchers, and professionals in a multidisciplinary curriculum, to settle humans on planet Mars. MarsU is organising the first academic Programs dedicated to making life multi-planetary. Faculty and staff at MarsU are cumulatively involved with over a dozen active research projects.

​

The MarsU Fellowship Program (MFP) provides talented new and senior Ph.D.'s, early-career professionals, and senior scientists the opportunity advance the research at the forefront of science, technology, engineering, and math. Fellows are immersed in research and development activities for 1 to 3 year assignments. Postdoctoral Fellows lead or co-lead research project(s) with the option to collaborate with MarsU students, Faculty, and Staff of mutual interest. Fellows collaborate initially on a volunteer-based opportunity. Meaningful high impact research on behalf of MarsU will be considered for scholarship discounts for courses, other benefits, and stipends on a case by case basis. Your impact would directly help improve systems, multi-planetary information, and the quality of life on Mars and beyond Earth.
