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:

Photonics has become an enabling technology for a host of industrial and scientific applications which combine many optical components and functionalities into a miniaturized chip format. While the PICs developed at the last decade has enabled applications the visible and near-IR wavelength range, there is a range of scientific applications that greatly benefits from availability of such chips at longer wavelength.

There are prominent astronomical applications at long wavelength that can benefit greatly from development of long-IR photonic integrated circuits. This effort will target development of state-of-the-art PICs and spectrometers on chip at long wavelength. The postdoctoral researcher will have a unique opportunity to work on different aspects of this new development including but not limited to: (1) Design; (2) Device microfabrication; (3) Test and characterization and (4) integration into a spectrometer instrument.

Successful candidate should have a recent Ph.D. in electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Experiences with photonic modeling, fabrication and characterization of photonic components are highly desirable.
