Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The postdoc will study volatiles in lunar igneous rocks by characterizing textures, determining mineral chemistry, and measuring volatile abundances. They will collaborate with international scientists to analyze the Moon's differentiation and evolution while publishing results in peer-reviewed journals.
A Ph.D. in Petrology, Geochemistry, Planetary Science, or a related field is required. Candidates must have in-depth knowledge of petrography and experience with microbeam analyses such as SEM, EMP, and SIMS.
New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.
Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.
JPL is unique among NASA Centers in that its staff are Caltech employees, yet can access NASA technical resources. Cross-discipline teamwork is standard here: colleagues across JPL's science and engineering organizations and on Caltech's academic campus often work together. Learning to speak and understand other disciplines' languages is a doorway to the creativity needed to do what has not been done before. JPL staff are encouraged to create mission concepts that address humanity's core questions through a combination of science and technology. They are supported in developing ideas into proposals and hardware, and in communicating funded missions' results to the scientific community and the broader public. JPL seeks to employ scientists and engineers who are passionate about lifelong learning and excited to both contribute to and lead team efforts. We emphasize the importance of partnering across discipline boundaries and creating a friendly, constructive work environment to overcome space exploration's challenges. The Postdoctoral scholars at JPL benefit from an informal mentoring network, an annual conference showcasing their results, a dedicated seminar series, exposure to diverse career paths, and social connections across the JPL and Caltech community for advice on housing, childcare, and other aspects of living in southern California.
JPL’s Planetary Geology group is seeking a postdoc who will join them in the study of volatiles in lunar igneous rocks.
The selected postdoc will focus on the following:
Characterizing the texture of lunar samples,
Determining the mineral chemistry,
Measuring volatile abundances in minerals and glasses,
Interpreting the volatile data based on the petrogenesis of the sample,
Collaboration with scientists at different institutions to place observations in regional context to answer questions about the Moon’s differentiation and evolution.
The postdoc is expected lead conference abstracts and associated presentations and write and contribute to peer-reviewed publications. The successful applicant is also encouraged to design and conduct their own research that enhances the tasks above.
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Petrology, Geochemistry, Planetary Science, or a related field
In-depth knowledge of petrography, mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry
Experience in microbeam analyses such as SEM, EMP, SIMS
Preferred Qualifications:
Knowledge of lunar science
Demonstrated proficiency in writing peer-reviewed publications
Demonstrated experience in writing/developing research grants/proposals
The appointee will carry out research in collaboration with the JPL advisor, resulting in publications in the open literature.
Applicants may be subject to additional program requirements by NASA. Postdoc positions are awarded for a minimum of one-year period and may be renewed up to a maximum of three years. Candidates should submit the following to this site: CV, representative publications, contact information for three references, and a cover letter stating their research accomplishments and interests.

Advancing science and discovery for the nation through NASA robotic missions exploring Earth and space.
Founded in 1936, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). For nearly nine decades, JPL has helped define the frontier of exploration. The laboratory developed America's first Earth-orbiting science satellite, built the first successful interplanetary spacecraft, and pioneered robotic exploration across the solar system. These achievements helped establish U.S. leadership in space and laid the foundation for generations of scientific discovery. Today, on behalf of NASA and the nation, JPL advances science and innovation through robotic missions that explore Earth, the solar system, and the universe. Our engineers, scientists, technologists, and mission teams continue to push the boundaries of exploration while addressing scientific and technical challenges of national significance.
