NRCan Fellowship in Space Physics, U of Alberta, Canada - due 1 Dec
The Geomagnetic Laboratory/Regional Warning Centre Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) invites applications for a two-year visiting fellowship in space science. Applicants should have a recent PhD in space physics, plasma physics, solar physics, astrophysics or applied mathematics with extensive experience in developing complex plasma computer models that are implemented on workstation clusters and/or parallel computers. The successful candidate will apply computer models (such as global MHD) in support of the solution of heliospheric and/or magnetospheric physics problems that lead to improvements in space weather forecasting. The successful applicant will work in close collaboration with scientists in the Facility for Data Assimilation and Modeling at the University of Alberta.
This position is being administered through the NSERC Visiting Fellowships program. See http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/sf_e.asp?nav=vfnav&lbi=3d. The position has an anticipated start date of January 5, 2007; closing date for receipt of applications is December 1, 2006. Applicants should submit completed NSERC form 200 and accompanying documents directly to NSERC with a copy to Dr. Larisa Trichtchenko. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. If suitable Canadian citizens or permanent residents cannot be found, other individuals will be considered.
Candidates will be hired on the basis of merit. We are committed to the principle of equity of employment. We welcome diversity and encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
