CEDAR email: Recent PhD Graduate Opportunities - Krimigis Postdoctoral Scholarship Program in the Solar & Space Physics Group at APL

[Cohen, Ian J.]

Hello CEDAR community!

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is looking for qualified and enthusiastic applicants for our Krimigis Postdoctoral Scholars (KPS) Program. This program is named after Dr. Stamatios "Tom" Krimigis who participated in spaceflight investigations spanning the entire Solar System over 50 years. Krimigis Scholars will be hosted by one of the space science groups at APL. Key features of this program include a research mentor(s); cutting-edge research; travel support; a peer network; training in "soft" professional skills; grant proposal writing support; competitive salary; and generous benefits. Positions are for a 2-year term, with a possibility of extension to a third year.

Several potential projects are currently available in solar and space physics (i.e., heliophysics):

  *   Developing models and tools for planning and interpreting Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging of magnetospheric and heliospheric plasmas to deepen physical understanding;

  *   Analyzing IMAP‑Ultra ENA data to advance our understanding of energetic particle acceleration and solar‑wind–interstellar coupling;
  *   Analyzing in-situ ion particle data from the MMS/EPD and PSP/EPI-Lo instruments to address outstanding scientific questions related to solar energetic particles, shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and magnetospheric dynamics; and
  *   Developing and building particle instruments, including, but not limited to, laboratory/chamber testing, calibration and testing, design and performance simulation and modeling.

Interested individuals should refer to the eligibility requirements and submit their application and research proposal to KPS online at: https://careers.jhuapl.edu/phd/jobs/58496?lang=en-us

Application due date: March 29, 2026
Start dates are flexible, but are expected to range from Summer to Fall 2026

For inquiries, please contact Ian Cohen (Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu<mailto:Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu>).

Cheers,
Ian
