Application Deadline11/1/2025 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time ZoneDescriptionAbout the NASA Postdoctoral ProgramThe 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:Our team is involved in the studies and interpretation of the ISM and the putative role of AGN feedback on the ISM content and star formation in massive elliptical galaxies. In particular, we are interested in investigating how the AGN feedback is coupled with the formation of multiphase gas that has been observed in recent multi-wavelength observations of galaxies that dominate the cores of groups and clusters. We are looking for candidates to conduct detailed investigation, both theoretical and observational, of the AGN feedback process through cosmic ages.Models for AGN feedback must be established through detailed 3D simulations that require the development of new, sophisticate software and visualization techniques. The 3D simulations will allow a better understanding of the impact and the complex interplay of fundamental (astro)physics, and will provide key predictions which can be verified with forthcoming observations. Our team is involved in the development of the X-ray Explorer mission Arcus (currently in phase A development) which is designed to investigate the formation and evolution of clusters and galaxies. It is expected that investigations focused on the science preparation for the Arcus mission will be a relevant aspect of the proposed studies.The successful postdoctoral candidate will conduct scientific research related to the acquisition and use of multi-wavelength observations of nearby group-centered galaxies since observations must drive our comprehension and theoretical modeling. Both aspects of the research - observational and theoretical/computational - are pursued and the exact nature of the proposed research will depend on the candidate's background and research interests. The successful candidate will be expected to accomplish independent research, produce publications, attend and present at conferences, become a member the current research team, and lead their proposed research effort.Location:Ames Research CenterMoffet Field, CaliforniaField of Science:AstrophysicsAdvisors:Pasquale
