DescriptionThe 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.
Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will collect a comprehensive set of satellite observations of named Tropical Storms and tropical depressions from 1999–2022. The dataset will include geostationary IR data, passive microwave observations from LEO satellites, and concurrent reanalysis fields. She/he will develop analysis tools and metrics to test several hypotheses presented in the literature and then develop new hypotheses, if needed. She/he will join a group of scientists working on similar research, collaborate with them, prepare journal papers, and participate in the development of new proposals.
