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:
We invite applications for postdoctoral researcher to conduct research aimed at advancing carbon cycle science and improving estimates of the carbon budget using satellite observations. The candidates will develop and apply an ensemble-based carbon data assimilation system coupled with the Community Earth System Model (CESM). The research is expected to focus on the carbon cycle and improving the representation of terrestrial carbon processes in the global climate model.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Earth Science, mathematics or equivalent. Knowledge of terrestrial carbon cycle science, data assimilation, large-scale modeling is preferred.
