Modeling and Analysis of Upper Atmospheric Composition and Related Processes

About the role

The Atmospheric Dynamics group in the Atmospheric Sciences Branch of the Earth Science Division at NASA Ames Research Center focuses on research of the upper atmosphere - mainly the upper troposphere and stratosphere (UT/S) - and its role in climate. We use a combination of satellite data, high-altitude aircraft measurements, and models to investigate variations in and processes that impact clouds, aerosols, and trace gases in the UT/S.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research that advances our understanding of UT/S composition and related processes.
• Participate in forecasting and flight planning for NASA airborne missions.
• Occasional deployment travel may be necessary.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in the physical sciences, preferably in the field of Chemistry, Physics, or Atmospheric Sciences.
• Experience working with atmospheric data and/or models.
• Strong analytical skills and computer programming ability.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
