Summary You will serve as a Space Scientist in a vibrant Astrophysics Branch at the NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) to conduct research in formation and evolution of prebiotic organics in space, and explore the role of astrochemistry in the origin of life using quantum chemistry techniques. The Astrophysics Branch has a world-class laboratory astrophysics group, exoplanet technologies group, modeling and computational group. Responsibilities Conducts, coordinates, and leads studies of molecular formation and destruction in space and novel chemistry of evolution of complex organic molecules in astrophysical environments using the techniques of ab initio quantum chemistry. Serves as liaison for interdisciplinary research work between astrobiology and astrophysics to support NASA missions, such as Habitable Worlds Observatory. Leads and promotes collaborations across the NASA ARC scientific staff. Works well with others in a team environment to achieve goals and engendering team spirit an...
