<div><span style="font-family: Calibri; background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) seeks one or more experienced scientists to fill visiting scientist positions within the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in
Washington, DC. These are typically two-year positions, with possible extensions, filled by scientists who take leave from their home institution.</span></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">NASA’s Heliophysics Division implements flight missions and sponsors scientific research, both with the aim to understand, individually and as a system, the Sun, heliosphere, and space environments of the Earth and
other planets, including space weather. Visiting scientists should have a broad understanding of the system science nature of Heliophysics, as well as one or more of the sub-disciplines.
<span style="background-color: white; ">At this time there is particular interest in expertise related to the heliosphere, magnetosphere, and/or ionosphere/thermosphere/mesosphere, especially coupling between the sun-Earth-heliosphere as they form an interconnected
system.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: white; ">Visiting scientists participate in the management of the Heliophysics grants (ROSES) programs, the planning, development, and management of NASA missions, and long-range strategic planning. They serve as Discipline Scientists
to develop research solicitations, conduct scientific peer reviews, and develop budgets and program plans for the recommendation of highly rated proposals. Visiting scientists serve as Program Scientists for NASA space missions, interacting with the science
working groups and ensuring success of the missions. They play a leadership role in long-range strategic plans to define the future NASA heliophysics program. Visiting scientists are expected to demonstrate a high degree of initiative in the execution of the
overall SMD science mission.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: white; ">Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in heliophysics or related discipline, plus relevant experience in instrumental, observational, or theoretical research. They should be familiar with NASA grants programs, and
be able to communicate effectively with the scientific community, educators, and the media.
</span>There are two pathways, IPA agreements and Details. Visiting scientists that are funded via an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) agreement with their home institution require current employment with a US institution for at least 90 days prior to
starting at NASA. Visiting scientist<i> </i>detailees are civil servants employed at a NASA center or another branch of the Federal Government. Only US citizens and Legal Permanent Residents are eligible to apply.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: white; ">Positions are available beginning in October 2015, though the starting date is negotiable. Interested scientists should send a curriculum vitae and cover letter by September 11, 2015 to Aaluk Edwardson (</span><a href="mailto:aaluk.s.edwardson@nasa.gov">aaluk.s.edwardson@nasa.gov</a>).
