Microwave Observations of Giant Planets
Job Posting for Microwave Observations of Giant Planets at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Description
This Research Opportunity seeks candidates interested in using microwave observations to improve our understanding of giant planet atmospheres and magnetospheres. The focus is on centimeter wavelengths, which probe thermal emission from the deep tropospheres of these objects or---in the case of Jupiter---synchrotron emission from its magnetosphere. Using observatories such as the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, or antennas associated with NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) in California, the postdoc will plan and carry out observations of interest to them, calibrate the data, and interpret the results. The data interpretation will require radiative transfer models and retrieval algorithms; the Advisor has access to existing software packages, but the candidate is encouraged to use their own or other tools available to them. Observations at shorter wavelengths, in particular those accessible by the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), are also of interest. Candidates should note that two of the DSN antennas available to them are associated with the Goldstone-Apple Valley Radio Telescope program (GAVRT). GAVRT is an educational effort in which middle, high-school, and community college students work with professional scientists. This allows candidates to incorporate educational and outreach activities into their proposal.
