Enabling Science

LSSTC Catalyst Fellowship

The LSSTC Catalyst Fellowship funded by the John Templeton Foundation supports early career researchers in astrophysics and the social sciences. The Fellowship is focused on realizing the full potential of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), both through new discoveries and creating exceptional opportunities for astrophysics and social science researchers, including those from traditionally under-represented groups and institutions.

Enabling Science

LSSTC Enabling Science Program

With the start of federal construction, the privately-funded LSST Corporation (LSSTC) is focusing on Enabling Science by helping the community prepare to maximize the science impact of the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). LSSTC anticipates funding workshops, classes, internships, and more to train and engage future users of LSST to get the most science out of the transformative dataset. LSSTC will also offer support to Science Collaborations, self-assembled groups of scientists with a common research interest. This work of engaging the community is led by the LSSTC Enabling Science Committee.
