Job Announcement - Post-Doctoral Research Opportunity at Los Alamos
National Laboratory
-------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Geoff Reeves (reeves at nis-pop.lanl.gov)

The Space and Remote Sensing Sciences group (NIS-2) of Los Alamos National
Laboratory announces an opening for post-doctoral research associate to
work on magnetospheric physics and energetic particles. Ongoing Los Alamos
programs include building, flying, and analyzing data from energetic
particle detectors on both the Global Positioning Spacecraft (GPS) and on a
series of geosynchronous satellites. We are also actively engaged with
energetic particle research with instruments on NASA and ESA satellites
including POLAR, CLUSTER, and others.

Principal responsibilities will include the analysis of energetic particle
data from the POLAR and CLUSTER satellites, development of software tools
and web-based information systems, participation in ongoing research within
the team, and publication of scientific results. Current research interests
within the NIS-2 energetic particle team include storm/substorm research,
solar energetic particle events, relativistic electron enhancements,
magnetospheric particle boundaries, radiation belt structure and dynamics,
Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging, solar-magnetosphere and
magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, wave-particle interactions, energetic
particle acceleration processes, advanced visualization of multi-satellite
data, and space weather applications.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in space physics, magnetospheric physics, or
a related field, demonstrated ability to coordinate large data sets from
multiple instruments and multiple satellites, strong computer skills, an
active publication history, and the ability to work well both independently
and as part of a research team.

Interested applicants should contact:
