Summary
This research position is located within the Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at the NASA Langley Research Center. Supports Principal Component Radiative Transfer Model (PCRTM) development to fill the agency need to have a fast, accurate, and consistent radiative transfer model. Conducts independent research. Supports "smart buyer" advisory functions, and maintains potential fiduciary responsibility for missions/projects/programs, realizing improved science from future satellite programs.
Responsibilities

  *   Develop fast and accurate radiative transfer models in far-InfraRed (IR), mid-IR, near-IR, visible, and Ultraviolet (UV) spectral region for a wide range of satellite sensors relevant to NASA missions.
  *   Develop a unified retrieval algorithm that uses a consistent radiative transfer model to perform climate quality data analysis of a wide range of NASA satellite data.
  *   Conduct sensor performance studies for future NASA satellite sensors including CubeSat by using instrument design specifications, radiative transfer models, and inversion algorithms.
  *   Utilizes the radiative transfer model (RTM) to perform end-to-end performance simulations for new sensor systems, satellite data inversions, and geophysical parameter retrievals.
  *   Duties described above are at the full-performance level. Duties assigned at a lower grade level will be of more limited scope, performed with less independence and limited complexity; duties will be commensurate with the grade of selected employee.
