The Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech) has welcomed six new NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) Scholars to the College of Sciences. In their time at GaTech, the new NPP scholars will undertake research that will advance NASA’s mission in astrobiology and solar system exploration. For a description of their projects, read the announcement from GaTech at: https://cos.gatech.edu/unique-concentration-postdoctoral-talent

The NASA Astrobiology Program element of the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) provides opportunities for Ph.D. scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability to perform research on problems largely of their own choosing, yet compatible with the research interests of the NASA Astrobiology Program.

Applications to the Astrobiology Program are accepted twice each year: March 1 and November 1. Note that the Astrobiology Program does not participate in every application/award cycle. For additional information about the program see https://npp.usra.edu/.
