Post-doctoral Research Associate at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
The New Mexico Consortium (www.newmexicoconsortium.org) has an immediate opening for a space weather / data science post-doctoral research associate for the award-winning Aurorasaurus citizen science project (www.aurorasaurus.org). Duties will include analysis of space weather data (specifically related to the prediction of aurora during storm and substorm times), and associated crowdsourced observations of aurora. The post-doc’s primary objective will be to develop a nowcast model of the aurora that incorporates human observations. A secondary objective will be further research with citizen science observations, and in conjunction with non-professionals around the newly recognized STEVE phenomena (relevant references can be found at http://bit.ly/MacDonaldGoogleScholar). Robust programming experience, initiative, and a strong history of publications are required. Experience and enthusiasm with mobile technologies, social media and web design are appreciated. A Ph.D. is preferred but exceptional candidates at other levels will be considered.
This is a one year full-time project with an option for a one year extension contingent on performance. Applications will be reviewed as soon as received and the position will be open until filled. The position is located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, beginning around January 5, 2020. Remote work may be considered for exceptional candidates. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Liz MacDonald (eliz.macdonald@gmail.com) with any questions.
