What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Imaging and Spectroscopy of Exoplanets with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument position at Zintellect?
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 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set for launch in the mid-2020s, will have a technology demonstration called the Coronagraph Instrument. This will showcase a number of technologies together in space for the first time to achieve a 100-1000 fold improvement on current and near-term proposed coronagraphs. The Roman Coronagraph Instrument will be a key stepping stone to a future coronagraph capable of imaging exo-Earths. We seek qualified applicants to help plan and execute the Roman Coronagraph technology demonstration and possible follow-on science investigations.
