Job Description

Far-Infrared Detectors for Space-Based Low-Background Astronomy

Join to apply for the Far-Infrared Detectors for Space-Based Low-Background Astronomy role at ORAU

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.

Description: The next generation of space-based far-IR astronomical telescopes require ultra-low noise detectors for background-limited observations with cooled optics. Detectors arrays with tens of thousands of pixels spanning the 20 - 600 m waveband and having high optical coupling efficiency will be needed to support this vision.

The successful candidate will contribute to a multi-disciplinary research effort that encompasses the development of astronomical focal plane instrumentation, frequency selective electromagnetic coupling structures (photonics), superconducting detectors, as well as coherent (phononic) and non-coherent (thermal) phonon transport at low temperatures.

Application Instructions:

  • Research proposal
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Official doctoral transcript documents

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Degree: Doctoral Degree.
  • U.S. Citizens;
  • U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR);
  • Foreign Nationals eligible for an Exchange Visitor J-1 visa status; and,
  • Applicants for LPR, asylees, or refugees in the U.S. at the time of application with 1) a valid EAD card and 2) I-485 or I-589 forms in pending status

Location: Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland

Field of Science: Astrophysics

Advisors: Karwan Rostem
