CEDAR email: Postdoctoral research position at UNH

[Keesee, Amy]

Post Doctoral Research Position in Space Weather

University of New Hampshire

Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS)

Space Science Center

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position in the Space Science Center at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). This postdoc will apply big data and machine learning techniques to several decades of ground and space observations to improve our understanding and predictions of geomagnetically induced currents. The postdoctoral research is part of a 4-year, 4-million-dollar project conducted in partnership between the University of New Hampshire and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (UAF). The postdoc will also have the opportunity to be involved in the space weather underground program (SWUG) that works with local high school students to build, deploy, and analyze ground magnetometers.
Candidates with experience in machine learning and/or ground magnetometer data analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. The position will be under the supervision of Prof. Amy Keesee (amy.keesee at unh.edu<mailto:amy.keesee at unh.edu>) with the opportunity to collaborate with space science and data science experts at UNH and UAF. A postdoctoral position will also be available at UAF. Please direct questions about both positions to Prof. Keesee.
