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:

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

The Earth's fluid outer core is in vigorous convection, driven by gravitational energy released from differentiation and secular cooling of the Earth. This core convection generates and maintains the Earth‘s intrinsic magnetic field observable at and above the Earth‘s surface. Research focuses on following tasks: core dynamics and geomagnetic data assimilation system development; geodynamo and planetary dynamo simulations; core-mantle interactions and Earth‘s rotational and gravitational variations; geomagnetic secular variation prediction; and relevant numerical algorithm development.

Applications with citizens from Designated Countries will not be accepted at this time, unless they are Legal Permanent Residents of the United States. A complete list of Designated Countries can be found at: https://www.nasa.gov/oiir/export-control.

Eligibility is currently open to:

• U.S. Citizens;
• U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR);
• Foreign Nationals eligible for an Exchange Visitor J-1 visa status; and,
• 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
