<p><b>Space plasma postdoctoral position <br>
</b></p>
<p>A space plasma data scientist postdoctoral position has become
available at the CNRS LPC2E laboratory for the analysis of <i>in
situ</i> data from the ESA's Rosetta mission. <br>
</p>
<p>The research activity will be focused on multi-instrument data
analysis of the induced magnetosphere of comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and its interaction with the solar
wind, based on measurement from the different instruments of the
Rosetta Plasma Consortium, with a particular focus on the
dynamics of the ionized cometary environment and its interaction
with the solar wind (waves, instabilities, structures). <br>
</p>
<p>The LPC2E laboratory (CNRS, located in Orléans, France - 1h
south of Paris) is a member of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium, as
responsible for the RPC-MIP (Mutual Impedance Probe) experiment
(PI: P. Henri), designed to measure the plasma density, in order
to characterize the plasma environment of comet 67P/CG, together
with the other experiments of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium
(RPC). Experiments similar to the RPC-MIP instrument onboard
Rosetta will be launched with future space exploration missions,
such as BepiColombo (towards Mercury) and JUICE (towards Jupiter
and Ganymede). <br>
</p>
<p>Required skills: <br>
- Physics and Mathematics skills (plasma / fluid dynamics);<br>
- data analysis, signal processing, statistics;<br>
- computational skills (IDL, matlab or equivalent);<br>
- team work and interactions with international research teams.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>The position is opened until closed (with some preference for a
start between September 2017 and January 2018). The initial
contract is for 1 year, with a possible extension for a second
year. <br>
