[IPRNmail] Postdoctoral Opportunity: NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group



The Ocean Ecology Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is seeking a postdoctoral candidate to support the activities of the PACE science team in the area of atmospheric correction for hyperspectral ocean color remote sensing. PACE is a future NASA polar-orbiting mission that is expected to carry a hyperspectral radiometer measuring from the UV to the near-infrared, with additional channels in the shortwave infrared. PACE may also carry a multi-angle polarimeter.  Potential research includes:

1) development of PACE proxy data from existing hyperspectral airborne sensors (e.g., AVIRIS, PRISM) and spaceborne sensors (e.g., HICO, Hyperion, SCHIAMACHY), or data from radiative transfer simulations

2) development, implementation, and evaluation of atmospheric correction methods to retrieve hyperspectral water-leaving reflectance from observed or simulated top-of-atmosphere radiances.

The successful candidate will interface with the staff of the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at NASA/GSFC, and work under the guidance of Bryan Franz who is a Principal Investigator on the current PACE Science Team.  The position is for 1 year with potential extension, to be filled as soon as possible.  The ideal candidate will have experience with multi-spectral or hyperspectral aircraft and/or spacecraft remote sensing data, knowledge of atmospheric correction methods or atmospheric radiative transfer in UV to SWIR, and strong computer programming and analysis skills.
