The Geospace Physics Laboratory (Code 673) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will be filling 2-3 Postdoctoral Researcher positions in support of the Laboratory’s research and flight projects. These positions will focus on the development and data analysis of ion and electron spectrometers, high frequency (HF) wave receivers for sounding rockets, and miniaturized Cubesat magnetometers.



The successful candidate will have the opportunity to select from a variety of topics in the 673 portfolio, including: orbital drag, magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, auroral ionosphere studies combining in-situ particle and fields data with ground based imaging of the aurora, sounding rocket and Cubesat flight projects, magnetospheric research with data from the Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) on the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission (MMS), solar wind and magnetosphere interactions, and integration and testing of our instruments currently being built for the Lunar Gateway.  As part of these activities, successful candidates will be working closely with Drs Marilia Samara, Barbara Giles, Eftyhia Zesta, Robert Michell and Dan Gershman.



The initial appointment is for 12 months, renewable to 2 years, subject to meeting performance standards, and will be through one of the six member institutions of the Partnership for Heliospheric and Space Environment Research (PHaSER).
