Job Description

Development of infrared detectors and focal plane arrays for space instruments

Organization : National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

Reference Code : 0167-NPP-MAR26-JPL-PlanetSci

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 :

Infrared Photonics group is working on development of new generation of mid- and long-wavelength infrared imagers and spectrometers for future Earth and planetary science missions. These imagers, based on semiconductor detectors, will provide enhanced sensitivity, better spatial and spectral resolutions, and higher operating temperatures than currently existing technologies. These devices utilize novel unipolar barrier detector architectures as well as new materials such as GaSb-based alloys and superlattices. [1, 2, 3] The postdoctoral researcher will have an unique opportunity to work on different aspects of the infrared technology including:

  • Design and bandgap engineering of semiconductor superlattices
  • Material characterization
  • Device microfabrication
  • Single pixel detector and focal plane array characterization
  • Integration and testing of infrared cameras and spectrometers

The specific research project will be selected based on the researcher interests and experience.
