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.

Description

This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD).

Location

Goddard Space Flight Center
Greenbelt, Maryland

Field of Science

Earth Science

Requirements

- U.S. Citizens;
- U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (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

Qualifications

- Degree: Doctoral Degree.

Skills

Research proposals to explore questions of scale, data fusion, ecology, leaf traits, light utilization, and fundamentals aspects of vegetation remote sensing are encouraged.

Benefits

Research activities on vegetation structure and function include opportunities to explore fundamental aspects of data fusion, including the use of sophisticated radiative transfer models to support algorithm development and science analysis. Studies using G-LiHT and other airborne remote sensing data also provide a basis for linking field measurements to moderate resolution remote sensing data, including current (e.g., Landsat 8, Hyperion, MODIS, Suomi-NPP) and future NASA missions (e.g., GEDI, EcoStress, HyspIRI, PACE).
