NASA Postdoctoral Program - Earth Science: Analysis and Interpretation of Satellite-Based Spectroscopic Measurements

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 the analysis of long-term databases on high-altitude ozone, total ozone, and ultraviolet solar irradiance by instruments in Earth orbit to study upper-atmospheric variability. Projects include evaluation and analysis of long-term changes in stratospheric ozone, especially the Antarctic ozone hole, solar variability in UV, response of upper-atmospheric ozone to solar activity, and analysis of data from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer on volcanic emissions effects. The position is located at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, under the advisorship of Dr. Nickolay Krotkov. This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD).
