NASA Postdoctoral Program - Airborne In Situ Trace Gas Analysis of Earth's Atmosphere

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. This specific opportunity focuses on trace gas analysis which provides insight into atmospheric and environmental science questions concerning regional air quality and global climate. The NASA Langley in situ Trace Gases group provides state of the art airborne and ground-based measurements of a variety of gases relevant to air quality, climate, and atmospheric dynamics and transport, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and trace gases. Postdoctoral work in this group will include working on cutting-edge atmospheric research questions, gaining experience with state-of-the-art trace gas measurement technology, participation in major NASA airborne science projects, and interacting in the world class airborne science community within the NASA Langley Science Directorate.
