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.
Description:
The NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the impacts of climate extreme events on human health. This research will utilize health data collected from hospitals across the United States, spanning a broad age range from newborns to adults. The study will also incorporate various NASA datasets, including reanalysis products, satellite observations, and subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts.
Key research objectives include:
Field of Science: Earth Science
Advisors:
Michael Bosilovich

Qualifications
Potential candidates should have a Ph.D. in climate science or a related field, including other desirable qualifications:
Strong data analysis skills, including experience working with large climate datasets.
Programming experience, particularly in Python, and proficiency with Linux platforms.
A proven record of publications, preferably on the climate-public health nexus.
Experience with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques.

The study will also incorporate various NASA datasets, including reanalysis products, satellite observations, and subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts.
Key research objectives include:
- Identifying extreme weather events strongly associated with health risks.
- Examining the compound effects of different extreme events.
- Investigating spatial and seasonal variability in identified climate-health relationships.
- Exploring large-scale climatic drivers of these extreme events.
- Evaluating the prediction skills for these events.
