[Rowland, Douglas E. (GSFC-6750)]

JOB OPENING: RESEARCH ASTROPHYSICIST IN ITM PHYSICS AT NASA’S GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER

NASA Goddard’s Sciences and Exploration Directorate, Heliophysics Science Division, ITM Physics Laboratory (Code 675), is seeking a highly skilled individual to provide expertise in the physics of the middle and upper atmosphere (which may include the ionosphere) and related observation and analysis techniques. Experience in “data science” techniques (data assimilation, machine learning, citizen science, data access/visualization tools) is desirable but not required.

Some of the duties of this position include:

  *   You will apply scientific methods, including defining scientific problems, planning the approach for study, analyzing data, interpreting results, and documenting findings.
  *   You will propose for research funding from sources as PI or co-I for collaborative research. Perform research that is presentable and publishable; research is at the leading edge of knowledge as defined by the appropriate research community.
  *   Your research will answer important questions relative to the geospace system, confirm or modify current thinking or theories and lead to significant changes in methods, techniques, processes or practices.
  *   You will serve as a team lead for critical scientific problems recognized as exceptionally difficult. You will provide solution of problems at this level represent a major scientific advance of national/international proportions.
  *   You will serve as a project/mission scientist, deputy project/mission scientist, team lead, or co-Investigator.
  *   You will perform extensive data analysis with mission data sets, providing expertise in defining requirements and resolving scientific, project development, and/or operational issues.
