JOB OPENING: Postdoctoral Scholar studying VLF waves in the Radiation Belts
at the University of Colorado Boulder

Start: ASAP

From: Prof. Robert Marshall (robert.marshall at colorado.edu)

The University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), department of Aerospace
Engineering Sciences, is soliciting applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar
to participate in research activities in the area of
Magnetosphere-Atmosphere coupling and Radiation Belt Precipitation. The
position is currently open and the successful candidate can start as soon
as possible.



This position is supported by a number of funded research projects in the
Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR;
https://www.colorado.edu/ccar/) in the Aerospace Engineering Sciences
department at CU Boulder.



These projects are focused on very-low-frequency (VLF) wave propagation in
the inner magnetosphere, wave-particle interactions in the radiation belts,
and drivers and signatures of radiation belt precipitation into the Earth’s
upper atmosphere. Data analysis work will use data from the Van Allen
Probes, POES, and other missions, as well as data from ground-based VLF
instruments. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to
participate in the ongoing development of a number of CubeSat missions.

This position is nominally for one year with the possibility of
continuation contingent on performance and funding availability. The
position will be located in the Aerospace Engineering Sciences building at
CU Boulder (https://www.colorado.edu/engineering/aero-building) and will
work in the Lightning, Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and Radiation Belts (LAIR)
research group led by Professor Robert Marshall. The successful candidate
will be given significant mentoring and professional development
opportunities that support postdoctoral scholars in pursuit of long-term
careers in research, academia, and other fields.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter stating research interests
and experience, a CV, and the names and email addresses of two references
to Professor Marshall at robert.marshall at colorado.edu. Review of
application materials will begin immediately and will continue until the
position is filled.
