NASA Postdoctoral Program - Snow and Ice Research

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects. This specific opportunity seeks a post-doctoral fellow interested in employing NASA and non-NASA remote sensing to enhance their research related to the terrestrial water cycle with a focus on snow and/or hydrology. Interdisciplinary studies, concentrating on the cryosphere, are encouraged. Potential research topics include remote sensing algorithm development, modeling studies, data fusion, sensor development, and/or snow satellite mission concept studies. Participation in the design and execution of field campaigns (such as SnowEx) and analysis of the field campaign data is also a potential topic. The post-doctoral fellow will work closely with NASA and NASA-funded researchers at Goddard Space Flight Center. Research results will be presented at national or international scientific meetings and published as journal papers. 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.
