SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT:  Applications due on 15 August 2019! http://apply.interfolio.com/64918


Position Description

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in atmospheric and space physics under the mentorship of Professor Stephen Kaeppler. A successful applicant will pursue research focused on analysis of high latitude incoherent scatter radar data with an emphasis on understanding E-region neutral winds, Joule heating, and auroral electrodynamics. The position is suitable for applicants with a background in data analysis, incoherent scatter radar, and a strong publication record.

The anticipated start date is early Fall 2019; some flexibility is possible on the specific time of arrival. The initial appointment will be for one year with the option for a renewal into the second year. 

Qualifications
Experience programming in Python and/or Matlab is preferred.

Application Instructions

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, a clearly articulated research statement of no more than 5 pages excluding references, and the names and contact data of three references at http://apply.interfolio.com/64918. The research statement should emphasize relevant and related experience, how the candidate applied data analysis skills to past studies (as part of their doctoral or postdoctoral research), and how these or new data analysis skills can be apply to the aforementioned incoherent scatter radar investigations.  Reference letters will only be sought for short-listed candidates. 

All applications received by August 15th, 2019 are guaranteed full consideration; however, applications will continue to be reviewed until the position is filled.
