The New Mexico Consortium has an opening for a computational space physics research associate to work on a project funded by NASA. The goal of the project is to understand compressible turbulence in the solar wind and associated ion energization processes. Duties will include running and developing MHD and hybrid simulations for compressible turbulence, and comparing simulations with observations from the Parker Solar Probe. The researcher will also have a great opportunity to interact with scientists from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Parker Solar Probe team.

We are looking for a researcher at the post-doctoral level, but exceptional candidates at other levels (post-master or research scientist) would also receive full consideration. Experiences with high performance computing, excellent programming skills in Fortran/C++/Python and a strong history of publications are desired. A Ph.D. or M.S. in space physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, or a related field is preferred.

This is a two-year position with competitive salary and benefits. The position level and salary are commensurate with educational level and experience. A possible third year extension is contingent on performance and continued availability of funds. The appointment is expected to start in Mar 2020, although the exact start date is flexible. The application deadline is Jan 18, 2020. The position is located at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Xiangrong Fu (sfu@newmexicoconsortium.org) with any questions.

How to apply:

1. Go to NMC careers website: https://newmexicoconsortium.org/careers/
2. Click on “Job Application Form” and fill in all applicable fields. In “Position”, type in “Research Associate in Computational Space Physics”; in “Applicant Comments”, indicate your level: post-master, post-doctoral or research scientist.
3. Attach CV, cover letter, research statement, and a list of three references with their title, name, institute and email. Reference letters will be requested later. In the research statement, summarize your past research experiences, skills and publications/presentations, and your plan for research in the next two years. Limit your statement to 3 pages or less.
4. Submit the form.
5. Qualified applicants will be contacted later via email for next steps, including a phone interview and an onsite interview. All applicants are encouraged to talk to Dr. Xiangrong Fu during 2019 AGU Fall meeting.
6. Annual salary for the position ranges from 50,000 to 70,000 depending on experience and education level. Full benefits include health, dental, life, disability, supplemental insurance, flexible spending account and retirement plan.
7. To work with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) scientists and use LANL HPC resources, applicants will need to pass a background check and obtain LANL visitor status.
8. Sponsorship of F1/J1/H1B visa is available through NMC for eligible foreign nationals.

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.
