Final date to receive applications 11/1/2025 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone 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: The NASA Earth eXchange (NEX) seeks a post-doctoral fellow to conduct biodiversity and ecological conservation research under NASA’s Earth Action framework and in collaboration with the California Sentinel Site Network (CA-SSN), a partnership between the UC Natural Reserve System (UCNRS) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The post-doctoral fellow will conduct original and innovative research that links in-situ biodiversity observations with NASA remote sensing to generate products and insights that enables NASA stakeholders and partners, including CA-SSN, to quantify biodiversity trends, particularly in response to Earth system variability, land-use change, and other shifting environmental conditions and stressors. Integrating in situ data with remotely sensed observations from multiple methods and developing cross-sensor capabilities (e.g., combining SAR and hyperspectral) will be essential for deriving meaningful insights for biodiversity and ecological conservation. Collaborating with CA-SSN’s diverse ecosystems will provide invaluable input to NASA’s data development process, ensuring that data products are broad enough to support a range of questions while also being capable of delivering actionable insights on the ground through specific use cases. The fellow will be a part of the NASA Earth eXchange (NEX) and will work collaboratively with a team of scientists and engineers who leverage NASA’s high-performance computing capabilities to develop new Earth science remote sensing and modeling products, generate long-term down scaled environmental projections, push technological boundaries with Earth System Digital Twins and Foundation Models, and conduct foundational work to advance future satellite missions. Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact NEX before preparing a proposal to understand what sources of data will be available from NASA and CA-SSN and to ensure their ideas align with the needs and expectations of the partners.
