USRA and the Science and Technology Institute are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Scientist for a one-year assignment. This candidate will support scientific investigations that inform the design and optimize the science return of the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC). The candidate will conduct innovative research focused on mid- and low-latitude responses of the ionosphere-thermosphere system to magnetospheric energy input and the interplay between ionospheric instabilities and solar-driven wind dynamo systems.
Education: Ph.D. in Space Physics, Atmospheric Science, Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related scientific discipline.
Experience:
Working Conditions: This job operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, etc., and extensive online usage. This is largely a sedentary role.
Travel: Occasional travel to scientific conferences, workshops, and professional meetings may be required.
