Description
About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
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. 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:
Theoretical research and computer simulation are carried out with emphasis on observations of space plasmas. Specific interest areas include (1) nonlinear phenomena in unstable collisionless plasmas, (2) compressible and incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in Cartesian and spherical geometries, and (3) wave-particle interactions and parametric instabilities. Simulation approaches include MHD, Vlasov, and hybrid codes run on computers ranging from PCs to massively parallel computers, while analytical work involves linear and nonlinear instability theories.
