DescriptionAbout the NASA Postdoctoral ProgramThe NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. 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 position seeks a recent PhD in the physical sciences to conduct leading-edge research in the general area of radiative forcing of climate using spectral and radiometric measurements of infrared radiation. A focus of the research is the far-infrared (far-IR) portion of the spectrum, nominally the wavelengths from 15 to 100 micrometers. This region has not been routinely observed from space, but several new NASA and International missions (PreFIRE, FORUM, and TICFIRE) will be observing the far-IR in the near future. The position will assess, with current data, our understanding of radiative forcing in polar environments where climate change is occurring on a more rapid basis than at lower latitudes. The position will make use of existing sensors (CERES, AIRS, IASI, CrIS, MODIS). Expertise in infrared radiative transfer calculations is highly desirable.
