Visiting Scientist Programs announces the 2016 call for applications to the
Jack Eddy </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Postdoctoral
Fellowships, sponsored by the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) program. The
fellowships </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">are
designed to train the next generation of researchers in the emerging field of
Heliophysics. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Heliophysics
embraces all science aspects of the Sun-Solar System, and includes many of the
basic </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">physical
processes found in our solar system, the laboratory, and throughout the
universe. These </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">processes
generally involve the interactions of ionized gases (plasmas) with
gravitational and </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">electro-magnetic
(both radiation and DC) fields, and with neutral matter. The physical domain of
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">interest
ranges from deep inside the Sun to the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Within this
broad science </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">discipline,
LWS is a program designed to develop the scientific understanding required for
the Nation </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">to
address effectively those aspects of the Sun-Earth system that affect life and
society. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">In
order to succeed at such cross-disciplinary research, the host mentoring
scientist plays a critical </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">role.
Consequently, applicants must select a host scientist, who is different from
the candidate’s PhD </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">advisor
(preferably at a different institution), and coordinate a joint application
with the potential </span></p>

scientist and institution.</span></p>

Hosts are expected to mentor the fellow, provide a reasonable office

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">which
may include a workstation, and any other unique research costs.</span></p>
