Programs announces the 2015 call for applications to the Jack Eddy Postdoctoral
Fellowships, sponsored by the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) program. The
fellowships are designed to train the next generation of researchers in the emerging
field of Heliophysics. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;line-height:11.05pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'">Heliophysics embraces all
science aspects of the Sun-Solar System, and includes many of the basic
physical processes found in our solar system, the laboratory, and throughout
the universe. These processes generally involve the interactions of ionized
gases (plasmas) with gravitational and electro-magnetic (both radiation and DC)
fields, and with neutral matter. The physical domain of interest ranges from
deep inside the Sun to the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Within this broad science
discipline, LWS is a program designed to develop the scientific understanding
required for the Nation to address effectively those aspects of the Sun-Earth
system that affect life and society. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;line-height:11.05pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'">Two major topics of focus
for LWS are the science of space weather and of the Sun-climate connection.
Preference will be given to applicants whose proposed research addresses one of
these two foci; but any research program relevant to LWS is considered. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;line-height:11.05pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'">Since the goal of this
postdoctoral program is to train Sun-Earth system researchers, preference is
also given to research projects that cross the traditional Heliophysics
subdomains of the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, and ionosphere/upper
atmosphere, as well as Sun-climate investigations. Therefore, proposals
addressing the LWS program that are interdisciplinary are encouraged. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;line-height:11.05pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'">In order to succeed at
such cross-disciplinary research, the host mentoring scientist plays a critical
role. Consequently, applicants must select a host scientist, who is different
from the candidate’s PhD advisor (preferably at a different institution), and
coordinate a joint application with the potential host scientist and
institution. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>

</span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'">Potential host scientists
are required to submit letters of intent and vita as part of the selection
process. Hosts are expected to mentor the fellow, provide a reasonable office
environment, which may include a workstation, and any other unique research
costs. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue'"></span></p>
