NASA Postdoctoral Program - Icy Moon Interiors and Geophysical Signatures

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects. This specific opportunity focuses on icy moons and dwarf planets in our solar system that could host liquid environments potentially habitable for life. The research supports several missions in development including NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUICE mission. The project seeks proposals introducing innovative techniques to predict the geophysical expressions of icy moon and dwarf planet interior properties, developing refined models of interior structure through compositional and thermomechanical profiles derived from geophysical parameters. These one- to three-year competitive fellowships are designed to advance NASA's missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
