<p class="MsoNormal">UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs announces the 2017 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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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
electromagnetic (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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Potential host scientists are required to submit a letter 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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applicants to this postdoctoral program are expected to have
had a PhD for no more than three years at the start of tenure. A UCAR steering
committee selects the fellows. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jack Eddy fellows are UCAR employees and receive a fixed
annual salary plus UCAR’s benefits (health and dental insurance, paid time off,
paid holidays, TIAA/CREF retirement fund, and life insurance). A relocation
allowance and an allowance for travel during the appointment are provided. The
deadline for applications is 13 January 2017. Appointments will be announced in
March. <span></span></p>
