(1) GPS Ionospheric Post-Doc, The Augsburg College, MN.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: David Murr (murrdl at augsburg.edu).

The Augsburg College Department of Physics invites applications for a
postdoctoral research position in experimental space physics.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Development of ground-based networks of advanced GPS receivers for
ionospheric research in the northern and southern polar regions. This
project is part of a collaboration between Augsburg College, Virginia
Tech, and Atmospheric and Space Technology Research Associates (ASTRA).
The position will reside at Augsburg, but it is expected that the
postdoctoral researcher will collaborate extensively with researchers
at these institutions. Interaction with space physicists at the nearby
University of Minnesota will also be encouraged.  Augsburg College is a
four-year liberal arts institution, and it is expected that the successful
applicant will be able to involve undergraduates in his or her research
in a meaningful way.

POSITION STATUS: Full-time, Limited Service (2-year) position.

QUALIFICATIONS:
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in physics or closely
related field with experience in experimental ionospheric or
magnetospheric research.  Familiarity with basic electronics
and experience with remote data collection is preferred.  Must
have experience in time series data analysis and publication of
research results in scientific journals.  Strong research and
analytical skills are required.  Must have the ability to work
in a diverse environment, supervise and mentor students, work
both independently and as part of a team, be attentive to details,
and manage multiple priorities and tasks.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  Open until filled.

HOW TO APPLY:  To start an application, go to http://www.augsburg.edu/hr/.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Augsburg College is a private co-educational college of the liberal
and professional arts and sciences, affiliated with the ELCA. The
College offers an education grounded in Christian values, a diverse
campus community and an exciting metropolitan setting in the heart
of the Twin Cities.  The College is committed to diversity and the
education of students in a global perspective.  Visit our web site

(2) June 7-11, 2010 Beacon Satellite Symposium, Barcelona, Spain,
abstracts and application for limited funding support are due 15 February.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Patricia Doherty (patricia.doherty at bc.edu).

The 2010 Beacon Satellite Symposium will be held June 7-11 in Barcelona,
Spain.  Dr. Manuel Hernandez-Pajares on behalf of the Technical University
Catalonia (gAGE/UPC) had graciously offered to host this symposium.  This
meeting is an opportunity for ionospheric scientists to collaborate on the
ionospheric effects on radio propagation.  This meeting is primarily
sponsored by the Beacon Satellite Group of the International Union of
Radio Science (URSI) Commission G.

Lodging information and abstract submission information are listed at
http://congress.cimne.com/bss2010.  There is a limited amount of travel
and registration fee assistance for students or attndees from developing
countries.  To apply for assistance, please describe your interest in
this symposium together with a copy of your abstract to Drs. Manuel
Hernandez-Pajares (manuel at mat.upc.edu and to bss2010 at cimne.upc.edu) and
Patricia Doherty (patricia.doherty at bc.edu).

(a) Session C22: Troposphere to Ionosphere Multi-Scale Wave Coupling Processes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Jens Oberheide (joberh at uni-wuppertal.de).


Abstracts due 19 February 2010, http://www.cospar-assembly.org/

This symposium focuses on new measurements, modeling and theoretical
studies of dynamical, electrodynamic and chemical coupling processes
emphasizing planetary waves (PW), gravity waves (GW) and tides. The
session is an open forum also supporting a broad range of CAWSES and
other project activities from the troposphere to the ionosphere. In
particular, studies in the following areas are most welcome: 1. Global
structure and variability of PWs, GWs and tides. 2. Upward and downward
wave-driven dynamical coupling between the troposphere and ionosphere.
3. Multi-scale waves: sources, propagation, dissipation and their
effects. 4. New measurements, modeling results and analysis techniques.

Conveners:
Jens Oberheide (joberh at uni-wuppertal.de),
Takuji Nakamura (nakamura.takuji at nipr.ac.jp).
