The SETI Institute’s Affiliates program provides an opportunity for qualified researchers interested in supporting our science mission, to submit proposals through the SETI Institute to government funding agencies, private foundations, and private partners. The program is designed for researchers who wish to further their future research as a member of the SETI Institute. After successful submission and selection of a research proposal, and once funding is available, Affiliates will be considered as potential employees at the Institute.

Please note: In addition to completing the on-line application, applicants are required to submit a cover letter and a CV/resume. A cover letter is required. Please state in your cover letter how your research focus relates to the Drake Equation and to our Mission. Applications submitted without a cover letter and a CV/resume will not be considered.
