CEDAR email: JOB OPENING: USGS Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Geomagnetism and GIC/GMD Space Weather Hazards

[Rigler, Erin (Josh)]

The US Geological Survey would like to announce a geomagnetism/space weather hazard post-doctoral research opportunity in Golden, Colorado, available through its Mendenhall Research Fellowship Program:

Geoelectromagnetic hazard science for modern society.

Specific research topics might address one or more of the following subjects: (1) Analysis of ground magnetometer data geomagnetic monitoring data, including USGS observatory data and new variometer data, to characterize the temporal-geographic expression of storm-time geomagnetic disturbance, (2) Analysis of new broad-band magnetotelluric survey data in the eastern United States, in combination with ground magnetometer data, to evaluate and map regional magnetic-storm-induced geoelectric hazards, (3) Analysis of new broad-band magnetotelluric survey data in the eastern United States, in combination with simple models of late-phase E3 nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) variation, to evaluate regional nuclear-explosion hazards, (4) Development and improvement of magnetotelluric and joint inversion methods, (5) Statistical or event analysis of publicly available geomagnetically induced current data collected by power-grid companies, (6) Risk-related studies of storm-induced geoelectric hazards, impacts to electricity-transmission systems, and regional concentrations of transmission infrastructure and population density, and (7) Analysis of historical data recording past great magnetic storms. Other relevant research topics can also be considered.
