ORAU, Greenbelt, Maryland, us, 20771
Astrophysics: The Nature of Star-forming Galaxies at High Redshift
Organization:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code:
0117-NPP-MAR26-GSFC-Astrophys
How to Apply:
All applications must be submitted in Zintellect. Please visit the NASA Postdoctoral Program website for application instructions and requirements: How to Apply | NASA Postdoctoral Program (orau.org).
Application Deadline:
3/1/2026 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone
Description:
We are characterizing the nature of star-forming galaxies at the epoch when most stars formed (redshift 1‑3).
We do this by studying spatially resolved spectroscopy and narrow‑band imaging of galaxies that have been dramatically magnified by gravitational lensing.
Research involves in‑hand optical, near‑IR, and mid‑IR spectra from Magellan, Keck, and Spitzer, as well as broad and narrow‑band imaging from Hubble.
Such work prototypes the sorts of science that JWST will be able to conduct for large samples of unlensed galaxies.
Location:
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland
Field of Science:
Astrophysics
Advisors:
Jane Rigby – Jane.R.Rigby@nasa.gov – 301-286-1507
Eligibility Requirements:
Degree: Doctoral Degree.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), Foreign Nationals eligible for a J‑1 visa status, or applicants for LPR, asylees, or refugees in the U.S. at the time of application with a valid EAD card and I‑485 or I‑589 forms in pending status.
Note:
Applications with citizens from Designated Countries will not be accepted at this time, unless they are Legal Permanent Residents of the United States. A complete list of Designated Countries can be found at: https://www.nasa.gov/oiir/export-control.
