CEDAR email: Postdoc position at Arecibo Observatory

[Astrid Maute]

Dear colleagues,



     We are seeking a Postdoc in the field of airglow research. The Postdoc
will join the Space and Atmospheric Sciences (SAS) group at Arecibo
Observatory. The Arecibo Observatory is located in Puerto Rico and managed
by the University of Central Florida (UCF).

     The Postdoc will work with the instruments from the Passive Optical
Laboratory (POL) at Arecibo Observatory (AO) and the Remote Optical
Facility (ROF) at the island of Culebra. The cluster of instruments include
Photometers, Fabry- Perot interferometers, all-sky imagers, and a
Spectrometer. Special attention will be given to the processing and
analysis of the OH and O2 airglow emissions measured by an Ebert-Fastie
Spectrometer along over 20 years.

     During the 24 months position term, the Postdoc is expected to
increase his or her independence in developing key questions and pursue
research approaches to answer them, publish in refereed journals, and
attend conferences.

     The Postdoc should have a PhD. in Atmospheric Sciences, Space Physics,
or related areas. Familiarity with data assimilation, preferably in the
middle and upper atmosphere, is desired. He or she should possess a
thorough understanding of the spectroscopy, an understanding of techniques
to observe airglow, ability to work independently and collaboratively,
and good written and oral English communication skills (Spanish is a plus).

     The position term is expected to begin in November 2019, but there is
some flexibility. Benefits will be competitive.  For foreign applicants,
UCF will sponsor a J1 visa to fill this position.

     For additional information, please contact Dr. Pedrina Terra (
pedrina.santos at ucf.edu).
