Dear Colleagues,

Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the area of magnetopause reconnection, coupling between the magnetosphere and high-latitude ionosphere, and exosphere. The successful candidate would have experience in MHD modeling and data analysis on the space/ground observatories like THEMIS, MMS, SuperDARN, SuperMAG, etc. This position supports the upcoming spacecraft mission, Solar Wind – Magnetosphere – Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE), that visualizes the dayside magnetosphere in soft X-rays after its launch in 2023.


The duration is two years with a potential for renewal. PhD in physics, space physics, or related discipline is required. Interested applicants should submit the following materials by email to Prof. Hyunju Connor (hkconnor at alaska.edu <mailto:hkconnor at alaska.edu>):

1. A cover letter describing background, qualifications, and experience relevant to the position
