<p><span style="color:black">The Heliophysics and Planetary Science Branch at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama, plans to offer two civil service positions to conduct research and develop applications in the discipline of Space
Weather. Outstanding candidates have the potential to be selected for federal employment, joining more than 30<b>
</b>other federal employees, academic staff, and contractors supporting solar physics and space weather science efforts within the Branch, which is part of the Science and Technology Office at MSFC. MSFC has significant strengths in suborbital missions for
heliophysics, advanced propulsion development (including solar sails), in-house development of scientific camera systems, and numerous calibration and testing facilities, including the Low Energy Electron and Ion Facility, utilized for the development, test,
and calibration of charged particle instruments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">Two Research Astrophysicist positions will be offered for researchers and technical authorities in Heliophysics, and specifically in space weather (ionospheric/thermospheric/magnetospheric responses to influences related to solar
activity), with emphasis on the analysis of current data sets and the development of new measurement and observational techniques in related research areas. The selected candidates will participate as Principal or Co-Investigators for future investigations
in Space Weather, with responsibility for leading and directing the work of multidisciplinary teams of scientists. The 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></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">Grade level is expected to be GS-14 or GS-15, dependent on the qualifications of the candidate. The formal announcement of the opportunity and related requirements will be open June 21 to July 05 at this USAJobs link:
<a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/job/660002100">https://www.usajobs.gov/job/660002100</a>. Applications are only accepted through the USAJobs portal. Candidates are encouraged to create a USAJobs profile well in advance to populate their resume, and may also
subscribe to USAJobs email alerts. Informal inquiries can be directed to Dr. David McKenzie, david.e.mckenzie@nasa.gov, 256-961-7896.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
