About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at NASA Centers, NASA Headquarters, or NASA-affiliated research institutes. These fellowships last from one to three years, are competitive, and aim to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
The postdoctoral fellow will apply machine learning and/or other data science techniques to conduct scientific research, improve remote sensing data products and analysis, integrate machine learning with physics-based models, and/or enhance processing of remotely-sensed Earth Science data. The fellow will be part of the NASA Earth eXchange (NEX). Current NEX activities include exploiting global geostationary operational satellites for Earth science research and applications, synthesizing low-earth orbiting and geostationary satellite remote sensing data, modeling terrestrial and marine/aquatic systems, climate downscaling and resilience, and developing open science tools and software for data processing. Candidates are encouraged to contact the NEX team to discuss research topics beyond these activities.
