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 postdoctoral researcher will develop novel instrument techniques based on IR heterodyne remote sensing, nano-photonics, and photonic integrated circuits. Our objective is to enable new measurement capabilities for studying planetary chemistry, habitability, astrobiology, and climate evolution.
In addition, researchers in exoplanetary science are strongly encouraged to apply as well. We are developing a coupled ocean-rock-atmosphere chemistry model for extrasolar planets, and welcome applicants to conduct research in habitability evolution and biosignatures for exoplanets.
