Analytical Instruments Group (IL 07103a)

NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowship at Caltech/JPL

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP), administered by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), offers unique research opportunities to highly talented national and international individuals to engage in ongoing NASA research programs at NASA’s Caltech/Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Dr. James Lambert, manager of JPL’s Analytical Instruments Group, is specifically seeking applicants with backgrounds in electrical engineering (with optics, hardware, and software lab skills), astrobiology (ice science, environmental microbiology), or planetary science for a research project involving microbial detection in water-ice matrices using laser-induced fluorescence and flow cytometry. Dr. Lambert will serve as postdoctoral adviser to the successful candidate to ensure that the research will result in publications in the open literature.

A more detailed description of this specific research project can be found at https://www2.orau.gov/nasacatalog/Listing.aspx?Opportunity=18245

Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the NPP Web site at http://nasa.orau.org/postdoc for more information and for an online application.

Candidates should communicate directly with Dr. Lambert before writing a proposal and also send their CV and the names of three references to James.L.Lambert@jpl.nasa.gov.

NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowships are competitively awarded for one year and may be renewed for one additional year and possibly two, depending on funding availability. Awards include an annual stipend of $52,000 (with moderate supplements for degree specialties); an $8,000 professional travel budget; a relocation allowance; and health insurance purchased through ORAU, partially paid by NASA. The next application deadline is July 1, 2007 with award offers being made as early as September 2007.

Caltech and JPL are Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employers. Women, minorities, veterans and disabled persons are encouraged to apply.
