NASA Postdoctoral Program - Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Connections

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 atmospheric chemistry and its links to climate, investigating the influence of anthropogenic and natural processes on reactive gases and aerosols on global scales. The research seeks applicants interested in global-scale gaseous chemical mechanism development related to ozone, methane, reactive carbon and nitrogen species, and investigating Earth system processes related to vegetation, the ocean, fires, and ice. The position requires a strong background or interest in modeling and examines impacts on oxidation, air pollution, climate forcing, and stratospheric processes. This opportunity is closed to Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD).
