Astrophysics: Cosmic Microwave Background and Diffuse Galactic Emission
ORAU, Greenbelt, Maryland, us, 20771
Astrophysics: Cosmic Microwave Background and Diffuse Galactic Emission
Organization:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code:
0018‑NPP‑MAR26‑GSFC‑Astrophys
How to Apply:
All applications must be submitted in Zintellect. Refer to the NASA Postdoctoral Program website for detailed instructions and requirements.
Application Deadline:
3/1/2026 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone
Description:
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities at NASA Centers, Headquarters, or affiliated institutes. This fellowship supports one- to three‑year projects in space science and related fields. Current opportunities focus on observational cosmology at Goddard Space Flight Center.
Develop and test suborbital balloon payloads (e.g., PIPER, EXCLAIM, Dust Buster) and mission concepts for future space missions (PIXIE, Phoenix, PICO).
Analyze archival data to model Galactic emission from synchrotron, dust, and anomalous microwave emission.
Measure CMB polarization to search for evidence of inflationary epochs and distortions from the blackbody spectrum to probe new physics.
Measure far‑IR emission lines to determine the star‑formation history of the universe.
Measure polarized emission from interstellar dust to understand its composition and emission mechanisms.
Model diffuse synchrotron emission to investigate the origin of the observed radio background.
