Remote Sensing from Space: NASA Biodiversity and Ecological Conservation Opportunity with the NASA Earth eXchange (NEX)

The NASA Earth eXchange (NEX) seeks a postdoctoral fellow to conduct biodiversity and ecological conservation research under NASA's Earth Action framework in collaboration with the California Sentinel Site Network (CA-SSN). The fellow will conduct original and innovative research that links in-situ biodiversity observations with NASA remote sensing to generate products and insights that enables NASA stakeholders and partners to quantify biodiversity trends, particularly in response to Earth system variability, land-use change, and other shifting environmental conditions and stressors. The fellow will work collaboratively with a team of scientists and engineers who leverage NASA's high-performance computing capabilities to develop new Earth science remote sensing and modeling products, generate long-term downscaled environmental projections, and conduct foundational work to advance future satellite missions. The fellowship is part of the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP), which offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and designed to advance NASA's missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
