About this position
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is recruiting a Postdoc in Earth Action at the JPL Campus in Pasadena, California. This postdoctoral opportunity is centered on Earth systems science, remote sensing, data science, modeling, and applications of NASA Earth observations to real-world decision-making.
The role supports JPL’s Earth Action strategy and focuses on maturing science and applications products, co-developing solutions with community partners, conducting scientific studies, and advancing the use of Earth-observation-based insights in decision-making. Relevant research areas include water resources, ecological conservation, public health and air quality, wildfires, agriculture, coastal monitoring and management, sea level change, urban heat, and statistics.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent experience in a related field, substantial experience with remote sensing datasets in an open science environment, and modeling expertise. Strong publication records and evidence of independent and collaborative research are expected, along with strong communication and collaborator-engagement skills. Desired experience includes science communication, stakeholder engagement, scalable technical solutions, and willingness to travel for in-person engagement.
The position is full time and postdoctoral scholars are appointed for at least one year, with possible renewal up to three years. The posting lists an annual hiring range of $83,820 and notes that benefits may include health, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, learning, childcare, flexible schedule, and parental leave.
To apply, submit a CV, representative publications, contact information for three references, and a cover letter describing your accomplishments and interests. Applicants should also note whether they have applied for a NASA postdoc program fellowship, including topic and proposed NPP mentor, and disclose any use of LLMs in preparing the application.
