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.
