About half a year after Lowell Observatory’s research restructuring first went into effect, more than a third of its tenured scientists have left, with several expressing concerns about their ability to find funding for their work under the new model.
Lowell implemented a new structure for its research department at the beginning of the year that moved scientists in tenured or tenure track positions funded with support from the observatory into fully grant-funded positions. The changes were announced publicly in October and went into effect at the start of 2026.
