What are the responsibilities and job description for the Exoplanet Experimental Studies position at ORAU?
Organization
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code
0243-NPP-JUL25-GSFC-PlanetSci
How To Apply
All 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:
7/1/2025 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone
Description
About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented 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.
The research in this lab is mostly experimental though theoretical modeling is also encouraged. The candidate will have access to unique experimental technology to conduct a range of experimental scenarios including varying temperature, pressure, chemistry, and analytical methods. Research can entail the development of instrumentation or scientific investigations for a variety of hot environments. The primary focus for this research is to simulate the conditions of hot environments to study the atmospheric chemistry, cloud formation, and planetary evolution of exoplanets. Our goal is to provide inputs for theoretical models and verification data for observations of exoplanet atmospheres.
