modeling at the University of Michigan<div class="">From: Mike Liemohn, Gabor Toth, Dan Welling, and Chip
Manchester</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Center for
Space Environment Modeling within the Department of Climate and Space Sciences
and Engineering at the University of Michigan is expecting to hire two postdoctoral
researchers in the near future. The
range of areas covered by these positions include solar magnetic flux emergence,
CME initiation and propagation between the solar wind and Earth's
magnetosphere, ionospheric outflow and its fate in the magnetosphere, impacts
of precipitation on the ionosphere-thermosphere system including conductance
feedback on geospace dynamics, and the development of geomagnetically induced
currents. Most of this work will be
directed towards the understanding of extreme space weather events. Because of
the numerical focus, preferred applicants should have intimate familiarity with
modeling techniques and should have expertise utilizing models to conduct
research. Prior experience with model development is useful but not required.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in Space Physics or a relevant discipline,
or be expecting one before their negotiated start date. We are seeking applicants at the postdoctoral
level with an appointment for two years.
