*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 15, Number 18 May 12, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Scientist Positions at University of New Hampshire -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jimmy Raeder 1. Magnetospheric Physics Research Scientist Position The Space Science Center at the University of New Hampshire invites applications for a Research Scientist II position in the area of magnetospheric physics. Applicants should have, or are about to complete, a Ph.D. in Space Physics or a closely related field, and must have experience in numerical simulations and/or the analysis of data from magnetospheric missions. Programming experience in a UNIX/LINUX environment and familiarity with data display software is also required. Primary duties include the analysis of data from Cluster II and other missions, conducting global simulations of selected events, and comparing model results with data. This position is grant-funded, provides attractive benefits, funds for travel, and opportunity for professional development. The annual salary for this position is in the range from $45,800 to $70,600, with the initial salary normally not to exceed $52,000. The Space Science Center has active research groups in several areas, including experimental groups that participate in numerous space missions, theoretical, and simulation groups (see http://www.eos.unh.edu). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with a number of faculty, research staff, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students. A recently acquired 350 Opteron CPU Beowulf cluster will be available for the simulation work. Applications should be submitted electronically via http://www.unhjobs.com/applicants/Central?quickFind=179328. A complete curriculum vita and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references are required. Applications submitted before June 21, 2005 will receive full consideration. Questions about this position should be directed to Prof. J. Raeder (J.Raeder@unh.edu). The University of New Hampshire is committed to excellence through diversity and strongly encourages women and minorities to apply. 2. Magnetospheric Modeling Research Scientist Position The Space Science Center at the University of New Hampshire invites applications for a Research Scientist II position in the area of magnetospheric physics and space plasma modeling. Applicants should have at least 3 years experience in Space Physics or a closely related field, and must have a background in developing parallelized MPI-based fluid or plasma codes. Programming experience in a UNIX/Linux environment is required. A background in magnetospheric physics or a related plasma-physical discipline is desirable. Primary duties include the development of new global magnetospheric codes; benchmarking, testing, and developing these codes; and using the codes to study magnetospheric processes. This position is grant-funded, provides attractive benefits, funds for travel, and opportunity for professional development. The yearly salary for this position is in the range from $45,800 to $70,600 with the initial salary normally not to exceed $52,000. The Space Science Center has active research groups in several areas, including experimental groups that participate in numerous space missions, theoretical, and simulation groups (see: http://www.eos.unh.edu). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with a number of faculty, research staff, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students.
