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 involves conducting research related to understanding the impacts of climate crises across California's landscape and coastal environments, as well as translating insights into actionable information for management and decision purposes. The postdoc will work on climate change impacts including severe droughts, floods, historic wildfires, rising seas, and record temperatures in California. The position requires programming skills, ability to work on large and diverse teams, and commitment to societal impact and translating science into decision-making for natural resources management.
