Postdoc - Boston University - Radio occultations of plasma environments 
in the Jupiter system

The Center for Space Physics at Boston University invites applications 
for a postdoctoral researcher position supervised by Professor Paul 
Withers. The research will involve (A) analysis and interpretation of 
radio occultation observations of Jupiter's ionosphere by the Juno 
spacecraft and (B) planning for future radio occultations of Europa's 
ionosphere by the Europa Clipper spacecraft. Depending on the 
candidate's interests, analysis of existing observations of the various 
plasma environments in the Jupiter system may also be possible. 
Candidates should possess a PhD degree in a relevant field. Experience 
conducting research on planetary ionospheres or other plasma 
environments is desirable. The salary offered will be competitive and 
commensurate with experience. Funding is available for two years with 
the possibility of extension. The appointment is expected to begin as 
soon as possible after 1 January 2023. Please contact Paul Withers 
(withers at bu.edu) for further information.

Applications should be sent by email to Paul Withers (withers at bu.edu). 
The application should be submitted in PDF format and contain a 
curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and contact 
information for three referees. Review of applications will begin on 1 
October 2022. Women and underrepresented minorities are particularly 
encouraged to apply. Boston University is an equal 
opportunity/affirmative action employer.
