The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at The
Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, seeks<br class="">
outstanding applicants for a postdoctoral scholar position to work
with the SuperDARN radar network. SuperDARN is an<br class="">
international network of HF radars used for space physics research.
The position requires Ph. D. in physics, electrical<br class="">
engineering, or a related field, a background in data analysis, and
will require travel to the radar sites including<br class="">
those in Antarctica. Preference will be given to applicants with
experimental experience in radio or radar systems, and<br class="">
background in magnetospheric physics or ionospheric/thermospheric
physics.<br class="">
<br class="">
The department operates the SuperDARN radars on Kodiak Island,
Alaska, Adak, Alaska, McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and<br class="">
South Pole Station, Antarctica. We seek an energetic individual to
carry out research using observations from the<br class="">
network. In addition the successful candidate will take part in
ongoing hardware and software developments for the radar<br class="">
systems, would be expected to assist with the day-to-day operation
of the radars including development of new modes of<br class="">
operation, and assist users of SuperDARN data. It is expected that
the successful candidate will work on projects in<br class="">
collaboration with the group but will work toward developing an
independent program of research in space physics,<br class="">
aeronomy, or radio science. <br class="">
<br class="">
Applications must be submitted electronically and include a cover
letter, CV, statement of research expertise and<br class="">
interests, and the names, addresses, and contact information for
three references. This is a fixed-term appointment<br class="">
funded for one year from the date of hire, but with the possibility
to extend the appointment for a second year based<br class="">
upon mutual satisfaction and continued funding. Review of
applications will begin immediately. The Pennsylvania State<br class="">
University’s College of Earth and Mineral Sciences takes an active
role in building talented, inclusive, and culturally<br class="">
competent workforce. Penn State is an equal opportunity, affirmative
action employer, and is committed to providing<br class="">
employment opportunities to all qualified applicants without regard
to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual<br class="">
orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or
protected veteran status. State College is a vibrant<br class="">
college community within the Appalachian Mountains and is within 3-5
hours driving of major east coast cities.
