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:
JPL is leading the development of the Roman Space Telescope coronagraph instrument, and is more generally involved in laboratory and telescope instrument demonstrations paving the way to a future Habitable Worlds Observatory mission.
We seek here qualified applicants to either
Help plan and execute the Roman Coronagraph technology demonstration and possible follow-on science investigations. Conduct lab demonstrations of high-contrast starlight suppression using JPL’s High Contrast Imaging testbed, in preparation for a future Habitable Worlds Observatory mission. Conduct observations of exoplanetary systems using existing /future high contrast instruments that we have access to via collaborations, e.g. at the Keck Observatory, Very Large Telescope Interferometer, Large Binocular Telescope interferometer or CHARA interferometer. Reduce and physically interpret such data.
Candidates with interest in direct imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanetary systems, including both exoplanets and extended dust structures, using high contrast starlight suppression techniques (coronagraphy, interferometry, and /or starshade) are encouraged to apply.
