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 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:

""Nature red in tooth and claw"" was less likely to be a concern among early organisms than the ability to deal with the physical environment. During the last few years our lab has focused on the effects of solar UV radiation, and secondarily, ionizing radiation and salt as extreme parameters to be dealt with by life. We are particularly interested in researchers with molecular techniques that can be applied to studies of evolution, particularly at the protistan or cyanobacterial levels.

Location:
Ames Research Center
