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:
The Solar Physics Laboratory is active in all phases of obtaining and analyzing solar observations. Opportunities exist for participating in research on new techniques of measurement, development of new instrumentation, analysis and interpretation of data, and modeling of solar structure and dynamics.
A diverse program of solar coronal and interface region research is being carried out in conjunction with space based instruments including the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) small explorer and Extreme Ultraviolet Normal Incidence Spectrograph (EUNIS) sounding rocket instrument. The data comprise UV and EUV spectra of selected solar regions covering a wide temperature range with high spectral and temporal resolution. Research in progress includes the detection and analysis of transient phenomena and application of spectroscopic diagnostic techniques for the determination of physical conditions. Analyses of these data are complemented by theoretical studies and computer modeling of energy transport, heating mechanisms, and plasma instabilities important in transient phenomena and coronal heating. Extensive use is made of coordinated observations from orbital instruments such as on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Hinode spacecraft. The EUNIS instrument undergoes absolute radiometric calibration for each suborbital flight and can therefore be used to determine the absolute response of orbital instruments.
