<p><strong>Postdoctoral Research Fellow</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Space Physics Post-Doctoral Researcher</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at the University of Saskatchewan invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the area of space physics. The successful candidate will join
the SuperDARN Canada research team (<a href="http://superdarn.ca/">http://superdarn.ca/</a>) and participate in the newly created International Space Mission Training Program (http://spacemissiontraining.ca/). The successful candidate will be joining a dynamic
and active research and teaching team with many international partnerships. Areas of existing research strength of the SuperDARN Canada team are: magnetosphere and ionosphere dynamics driven by solar wind conditions, in particular using ionospheric convection
measurements from SuperDARN; theoretical physics of ionospheric plasma and irregularities; and radio wave propagation in the ionosphere. SuperDARN Canada is part of the Geospace Observatory (GO) Canada distributed network of ground-based space physics instruments
in Canada (<a href="http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/sciences/space-weather.asp">http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/sciences/space-weather.asp</a>). SuperDARN Canada is also a partner with the Resolute Incoherent Scatter Radar (RISR), and there are close collaborations
with the Canadian CASSIOPE ePOP mission and the ESA Swarm mission. </p>
