Geospace Physics Laboratory (Code 673) at NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center will be filling 2-3 Postdoctoral Researcher positions in support
of the Laboratory’s
research and flight projects. These positions will focus on the
development and data analysis of ion and electron spectrometers, high
frequency (HF) wave receivers for sounding rockets, and miniaturized
Cubesat magnetometers. </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to select from a variety
of topics in the 673 portfolio, including: orbital drag,
magnetosphere-ionosphere
coupling, auroral ionosphere studies combining in-situ particle and
fields data with ground based imaging of the aurora, sounding rocket and
Cubesat flight projects, magnetospheric research with data from the
Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) on the Magnetospheric
MultiScale mission (MMS), solar wind and magnetosphere interactions,
and integration and testing of our instruments currently being built for
the Lunar Gateway. </span></p>

candidates will have the opportunity to work on primarily supporting
either our research analysis efforts or our instrumentation efforts, but
we encourage
the development of our Postdoctoral Researchers in both areas depending
on their individual interests. There will be frequent opportunities for
laboratory work (calibration of particles and fields instruments) and
field work (such as integration and launch
in locations other than Goddard) in support of our sounding rocket,
Cubesat and orbital projects. </span></p>
