Physicist, ZP-1310-IV, ($76,123-$116,942)(Boulder, Colorado) The National Weather Service's Space Environment Center (SEC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a space physics research position to study energetic particles in the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The primary duties of this position will be to conduct scientific research on causes and consequences of energetic parti- cles in the magnetosphere and ionosphere and to serve as the SEC responsible scientist for the NOAA Polar orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) Space Environment Monitor (SEM) and National Polar orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System NPOESS energetic particle sensors. Other duties will include the oversight and monitoring of sensor development and calibration, the verification and valida- tion of the data and the generation of products from the data.
