About This Opportunity

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 multiwavelength stellar astrophysics at Goddard Space Flight Center. The research involves studying stellar phenomena using space-based and ground-based observatories across the electromagnetic spectrum, with particular emphasis on low-mass red dwarf stars and massive star winds. Research areas include magnetic activity, star spots, flares, photometric variability monitoring, and spectroscopic diagnostics in IR, UV, and X-ray wavelengths to understand stellar evolution and interactions with exoplanets.
