Program Director (Rotator) Opportunity at NSF:  Magnetospheric Physics 

Janet Kozyra’s outstanding service as Program Director for the Magnetospheric Physics Program in the Geospace Section of NSF’s Division of Atmopsheric and Geospace Sciences will soon be coming to an end.  Consequently, we are seeking her successor. We are looking for an experienced magnetosphere scientist with a flair for scientific leadership and an interest in community service, who is excited about the opportunity to work with us to maintain an excellent magnetospheric research program and shape the investment in magnetosphere science at NSF.  In return, the position offers a unique chance to experience the inner workings of federal research programs and to influence the future development of Geospace science at NSF.   A starting date around December 1, 2016 would be ideal but a slightly later date can also be arranged.  Rotator assignments are typically of 2-3 year duration. 

Rotator positions can be either Intergovernmental Personnel Assignment (IPA) or Visiting Scientist, Engineer, and Educator (VSEE) assignments.  For more information regarding rotator assignments and eligibility, visit our website at https://www.nsf.gov/careers/rotator/ <https://www.nsf.gov/careers/rotator/> .  Fed Temp employment is also a possibility.
