Space physics job with THEMIS at UCLA, CA - due Dec 20
UCLA solicits applications for one or more Researchers at the Post-Doctoral or Assistant Researcher levels, in the field of Space Plasma Physics theory and phenomenology, within the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, to work on NASA's recently launched THEMIS mission. (http://www.nasa.gov/themis). Application deadline December 20. Inquiries to: jessica@igpp.ucla.edu or by phone: (310) 825-1580.
For more information about the institute visit: http://www.igpp.ucla.edu. The institute's Space Physics Center carries out investigations of the solar wind, and the magnetospheres, ionospheres and atmospheres of the Earth and planets. The successful candidate will have demonstrated independent research in space physics by using data from recent space physics missions and by bringing together an appropriate mix of theoretical and numerical tools for interpreting such data. In particular we encourage candidates with experience in Sun-Earth interactions, magnetospheric, ionospheric or ground based phenomenology. The successful candidate is expected to work on data analysis on the five THEMIS spacecraft, ground based observatories, as well as concurrent datasets from other satellites. It is expected that the successful candidate will participate actively in a diverse and broad space physics research environment across UCLA, spanning basic plasma theory, simulations, space physics phenomenology, data visualization and space mission design. Applications should include a CV, a short statement of research interests, and names of at least three individuals familiar with the applicant's work. Applications should be sent/emailed by December 20 to: Jessica Hernandez- Nunez, Personnel Manager, 3823 Slichter Hall, IGPP, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567. UCLA is an Equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
