What are the responsibilities and job description for the Photochemistry of the Atmospheres of the Outer Planets and their Satellites position at Zintellect?
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:
The atmospheres of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) along with Titan are rich with photochemically active trace compounds. These compounds are important for the controlling the thermal structure, haze formation, and astrobiologically. This research opportunity involves numerical modeling of the photochemistry of the planets. Allied research involves ab initio modeling of chemical rate constants identified as being important to understanding of the photochemical systems as identified by numerical models. This portion of the opportunity uses high performance computer systems at Goddard.
Field of Science: Planetary Science
