<p>The Heliophysics & Planetary Science Branch at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, plans to offer multiple positions seeking scientists focused on conducting research and developing applications solving challenging Heliophysics problems.
Outstanding candidates have the potential to be selected for federal employment,
<span style="color:black">joining more than 30<b> </b></span>other federal employees, academic staff, and contractors supporting solar physics and space weather science efforts within the Branch, a subset of the Science Research and Projects Division, and the
Science and Technology Office at Marshall Space Flight Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Research Astrophysicist positions will be considered to support the following focus areas:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Solar/Heliospheric remote sensing, research, and analysis<o:p></o:p></li><ul type="circle">
<li style="mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Complete novel research activities for MSFC through independent reviews and interpretation of research data in related research areas concerned with the Sun, solar activity, or Space Weather<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<li style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Development of solar physics instrumentation<o:p></o:p></li><ul type="circle">
<li style="mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Serve as an instrument scientist in suborbital or orbital space missions with responsibility for working with multidisciplinary teams of engineers and scientists<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<p>The selected candidates will have opportunities to lead the development of research proposals for new activities, execute funded projects, and share their accomplishments through conference participation and appropriate peer-reviewed literature.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The positions are expected to be announced in autumn 2020 under the category of Research Astrophysicist and at the GS-13 grade level<span style="color:red">.
</span>Successful candidates will have had experience applying advanced tools, techniques, and/or data analysis/mining/machine learning techniques to observational datasets collected with remote sensing measurement techniques. Candidates should have made regular
contributions to a research team with some guidance and direction, developed new analysis techniques to solve challenging problems, made contributions to peer-reviewed proposals in response to technical solicitations, and have contributed to peer-reviewed
publications as part of a demonstrated publication record.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The formal announcement of the opportunity and related requirements will be posted in the near future at USAJobs (www.usajobs.gov) and can be found by searching with keyword NASA and location of Huntsville, Alabama. Applications are only accepted through
the USAJobs portal, and United States citizenship is required to be eligible for these civil service positions. Candidates are encouraged to create a USAJobs profile well in advance to populate their resume and may also subscribe to USAJobs alerts received
via email. Informal inquiries can be directed to Dr. David McKenzie, david.e.mckenzie@nasa.gov, 256-961-7896.<o:p></o:p></p>
