Deadline:

01 Nov 2026 Organization National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Reference Code 0312-NPP-NOV26-GSFC-PlanetSci How to Apply All applications must be submitted in Zintellect Please visit the NASA Postdoctoral Program website for application instructions and requirements: How to Apply | NASA Postdoctoral Program (orau.org) A complete application to the NASA Postdoctoral Program includes: Research proposal Three letters of recommendation Official doctoral transcript documents Application Deadline 11/1/2026 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone Description 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 solicits science proposals for the analysis of NASA mission data to study the middle/upper atmospheres and exospheres of planetary bodies in the Solar System. Proposals may focus on the atmospheres of the terrestrial planets, the upper atmospheres of the giant planets, the atmosphere of Titan, and/or the surface-bound exospheres of planets and moons throughout the Solar System, with the objective of characterizing the current state of and important processes governing target atmospheres and their evolution through time. Key focus areas include atmospheric (photo)chemistry, dynamics and transport, and escape. Proposed science objectives should align with the science objectives of current NASA missions and/or support NASA in its preparation for future mission success. The data supporting proposed science objectives may consist of in situ observations, such as those obtained by mass spectrometers or from atmospheric drag measurements, and/or remote sensing observations, such as those obtained by infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers. The incorporation of simple analytical or more complex 1D/3D numerical models is highly encouraged to aid in proposed data analysis and interpretation.
