What are the responsibilities and job description for the Impacts of Climate Extreme Events on Health 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 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:
1. Identifying extreme weather events strongly associated with health risks.
2. Examining the compound effects of different extreme events.
3. Investigating spatial and seasonal variability in identified climate-health relationships.
4. Exploring large-scale climatic drivers of these extreme events.
5. Evaluating the prediction skills for these events.
This opportunity will entail working in the NASA high performance computing environment.
