Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Centre for Space Physics, School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Faculty of Science and IT at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia (http://plasma.newcastle.edu.au/plasma).
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and magnetosphere/plasmasphere dynamics in relationship to plasma dynamics, particle populations, ring current decay and plasma plumes, including heavy ions. Satellite data resident in the Centre will provide the basis for analyses, complemented with additional data. Modelling and simulation will also be undertaken using existing and new codes, and collaborative studies.
A recent PhD with a background in space plasma physics, and experience of handling large datasets, and familiarity with any of the following would be an advantage; LINUX, IDL, C/C++. The position will commence as soon as possible with an initial one year appointment, renewable annually for a further two years. Funding is provided by the Australian Research Council and salary will be A$57,579 per annum in the first year, with annual increments of approximately A$4,000 in each of the following two years.
