Description
About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. 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:
We are conducting surveys of nearby star forming regions. The resulting spectroscopic and continuum data sets promise a comprehensive view of the dynamic state and evolutionary history of the ISM in these regions.
Our current research focuses include high angular and spectral resolution spectroscopy through observations and 3D modeling of continuum SED and multi-band images. High resolution data are being accumulated through SMA and EVLA proposals. A 3d modeling code for handling dust radiative transfer is available along with various spectral line excitation and radiative transfer programs. The advisor is Project Scientist for the Space Terahertz Observatory (STO), which is an approved NASA ULDB balloon mission that will observe [NII], [CII], and [OI]. We are looking for researchers who can work on data reduction and modeling, as well as providing ideas for new, related projects.
