Description This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD). The NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the impacts of climate extreme events on human health. This research will utilize health data collected from hospitals across the United States, spanning a broad age range from newborns to adults. The study will also incorporate various NASA datasets, including reanalysis products, satellite observations, and subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts. Key research objectives include: Identifying extreme weather events strongly associated with health risks. Examining the compound effects of different extreme events. Investigating spatial and seasonal variability in identified climate-health relationships. Exploring large-scale climatic drivers of these extreme events. Evaluating the prediction skills for these events. This opportunity will entail working in the NASA high performance computing environment.
