High Altitude Observatory (HAO) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research
(NCAR) invites applications for a postdoctoral scientist position to conduct
research on thermospheric response to atmospheric waves from below and to solar
and magnetospheric forcing from above, with a particular emphasis on the
utilization and interpretation of data from the Gravity Field and Steady-State
Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite.<span style> </span>The selected postdoctoral fellow will interact with HAO
staff as well as other researchers on the GOCE team to carry out integrated
analysis of model simulations and GOCE measurements.<span style> </span>The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal
based on satisfactory performance and funding availability.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Among
the facilities available at HAO for this research are the NCAR

(TIMEGCM), the Global Scale Wave Model (GSWM), and the extended Whole
Atmospheric Model (WACCM-X).<span style> </span>The
applicant must have completed a Ph.D. in a physical science not more than 3
years before starting the appointment or have an equivalent combination of
education and experience.<span style> </span>The
successful candidate should demonstrate a strong background in one or more
areas of ionospheric, thermospheric, or atmospheric research, with particular
interest in the interaction between the different regions.<span style> </span>Also desired, but not required, are
experience in interpreting the outputs of large computer models and experience
in analyzing satellite observations and other data sets.</span></p>
