of space weather forecasting systems.  Unfortunately, due to requirements
established by some of SSI's customers, the candidate must be a US citizen or
permanent resident.</p>

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A strong candidate must have strengths in programming.  Other priorities are familiarity with inner
magnetospheric processes and experience using data assimilation methods and/or
diffusion modeling techniques.  Responsibilities for the position will
include the creation of global reconstructions of the inner magnetosphere using
an existing framework that combines the VERB radiation belt modeling code with
data assimilation.  The results will be
used for Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) and Observing System
Experiments (OSE), targeting existing and future missions. </p>

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The anticipated start date is June 15^th and the initial
appointment will be 6-months, with the possibility of renewal contingent upon
performance and available funding.   SSI
offers very competitive pay, as well as flexible benefits.  Review of applications will continue until
