opportunity. Thank you!*

The UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science
(CPAESS) is pleased to announce that the NASA Jack Eddy Postdoctoral
Fellowship Program is seeking applications for its 2024 appointments. The
fellowship program attracts the best and the brightest PhDs in the
interdisciplinary science of heliophysics.


Find out more here <https://heliophysics.ucar.edu/jack-eddy> and apply here
<https://heliophysics.ucar.edu/jack-eddy/how-postdocs-apply> by January 26,
2024.

Sponsored by the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) program, this fellowship is
designed to train the next generation of researchers in the emerging
interdisciplinary field of Heliophysics.


Heliophysics embraces all science aspects of the Sun-Solar System, and
includes many of the basic physical processes found in our solar system,
the laboratory, and throughout the universe. These processes generally
involve the interactions of ionized gases (plasmas) with electromagnetic
and gravitational fields, and to some extent with neutral matter. The
physical domain of interest ranges from deep inside the Sun to the
beginning of interstellar medium as well as planetary atmospheres including
Earth's upper atmosphere. Within this broad science discipline, LWS is a
program designed to develop the scientific understanding required for the
nation to address effectively those aspects of the Sun-Earth system that
affect life and society.


Two major topics of focus for LWS are the science of space weather and of
the Sun-climate connection. Preference will be given to applicants whose
proposed research addresses one of these two foci; but any research program
- especially interdisciplinary research - relevant to LWS will be
considered.


Since the goal of this postdoctoral program is to train Sun-Earth system
researchers, preference is also given to research projects that cross the
traditional Heliophysics subdomains of the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere,
and ionosphere/upper atmosphere, as well as Sun-climate investigations.
Therefore, proposals addressing the LWS program that are interdisciplinary
in nature will be given preference.


In order to succeed at such cross-disciplinary research, the host mentoring
scientist plays a critical role. Consequently, applicants must select a
host scientist, who is different from the candidate’s PhD advisor
(preferably at a different institution), and coordinate a joint application
with the potential host scientist and institution. See our flyer here
