ORAU is Hiring a Behavior of Electrons in Solar System Water Ices Near Pasadena, CA
OrganizationNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code0057-NPP-NOV24-JPL-PlanetSci
How To ApplyAll applications must be submitted in Zintellect
Please visit the NASA Postdoctoral Program website for application instructions and requirements: How to Apply | NASA Postdoctoral Program (orau.org)
A complete application to the NASA Postdoctoral Program includes:
DescriptionAbout the NASA Postdoctoral ProgramThe NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:Intense magnetospheric electron and ion bombardment of Jovian and Saturnian icy satellites such as Europa and Iapetus results in highly contrasting surface geology on these bodies. For example, Europa’s trailing hemisphere receives far more electron and ion irradiation than the leading hemisphere and these icy surfaces are heavily radiation processed. Recent studies have shown that upon ultraviolet radiation [1,2] electrons are generated within these ices containing organics impurities. The fate of electrons that are released into the ices is under investigation, which forms the theme of this research opportunity.
The NPP colleague will focus on understanding both short-term (nanosecond time scale) and long-term (seconds to days) properties of electrons released through ionization process into the water ices at conditions relevant to outer solar system icy moons. These studies will enable a better understanding of surface processes of icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus, both of which are targets of next flagship missions.
