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 Observational Cosmology Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center has several active projects to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and diffuse Galactic and extragalactic emission at decimeter through sub-millimeter wavelengths. These include development of suborbital balloon payloads (PIPER, EXCLAIM, Dust Buster), mission concept development for future space missions (PIXIE, Phoenix, PICO), and analysis of archival data to model Galactic emission from synchrotron, dust, and so-called anomalous microwave emission.  Scientific goals include:
 
* Measurements of CMB polarization to search for evidence of an inflationary
epoch in the early universe
 
* Measurements of distortions from the CMB blackbody spectrum to determine the energy budget of the universe and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model
 
* Measurements of far-IR emission lines to determine the star formation history of the universe
 
* Measurements of polarized emission from interstellar dust to determine its composition and emission mechanisms
 
* Models of diffuse synchrotron emission to determine the origin of the observed radio synchrotron background
 
In support of these goals, research opportunities exist for development of flight hardware, analysis of archival data, and the analysis and design of future missions at decimeter to far-IR wavelengths.
