Earth Science: Remote Sensing and Modeling of the Global Water and Energy Cycle

About the role

The Hydrological Sciences Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center seeks a post-doctoral candidate to conduct research in the area of the global water and energy cycle. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated an active research interest in the observation, analysis, modeling, and prediction of the global water and energy cycle systems (i.e. ocean, land, and atmosphere).

Responsibilities

The candidate will work with experts in the NASA/GSFC Hydrological Sciences Lab towards the goal of producing a comprehensive understanding of the global water and energy cycles and to advance the prediction of water and energy cycle consequences of earth system and variability and change. Applications-oriented projects that leverage new or existing partnerships to provide information to water managers to improve water resources management and support risk-based decision making are strongly encouraged.

Requirements

• Demonstrated research interest in the observation, analysis, modeling, and prediction of the global water and energy cycle systems (i.e. ocean, land, and atmosphere)
• Doctoral Degree

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship
• U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR)
• Foreign Nationals eligible for an Exchange Visitor J-1 visa status
• Applicants for LPR, asylees, or refugees in the U.S. at the time of application with 1) a valid EAD card and 2) I-485 or I-589 forms in pending status

Skills

• Strong background in Earth Science
• Experience with remote sensing and modeling of the global water and energy cycle
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Benefits

• Unique research opportunities at NASA Centers
• Competitive one- to three-year fellowship
• Opportunities for national, inter-agency, and international partnerships
