NASA Postdoctoral Program in the Science Directorate

Now that you’ve earned your doctorate, how about using it to save the planet?

The NASA Postdoctoral Program provides a great opportunity to work with and learn from a world-class team of scientists and engineers on some of the most challenging atmospheric issues facing our world today.

Our measurements and models add to the world’s knowledge about the current state of the atmosphere and how it is changing. So, the work you do at the Science Directorate really matters. It can help to predict and prevent natural disasters, reduce air pollution or protect flight crews from radiation.

If you’ve always wanted to work for NASA, this is a great way to get in, make contacts and impress us with your capabilities. And even if you don’t choose NASA for your life’s work, you’ll gain the skills, credentials and experience needed to conduct research on a world-class scale.
