Development of infrared detectors and focal plane arrays for space instruments
About the role
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.
Responsibilities
- Design and bandgap engineering of semiconductor superlattices
- Material characterization
- Device microfabrication
- Single pixel detector and focal plane array characterization
- Integration and testing of infrared cameras and spectrometers
