Offered wages on AURA Space Telescope Science Institute’s H-1B petitions range from $110,000 at the low end to $135,603 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $122,046. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by ESA/AURA Astronomer I (3 petitions at $113,007 avg), followed by Associate Scientist.
