The New Mexico Consortium (www.newmexicoconsortium.org) has an immediate opening for a Project Manager for the award-winning Aurorasaurus citizen science project (www.aurorasaurus.org).

This is a new position and we’re looking for a team member who is excited about working at the intersection of citizen science, project and volunteer management, science communication, and program evaluation.

Duties will include to: 1) Oversee the global Aurorasaurus Ambassador network, a volunteer group of aurora enthusiasts who share Aurorasaurus with their local interested communities; 2) Manage project communications, including a blog and newsletter; 3) Lead project evaluation to gauge effects on participant attitudes, behavior, and learning.

Experience and enthusiasm with web/mobile technologies, social media, data visualization, education, graphic design and/or aurora science are appreciated. Helping to inform the public about Aurorasaurus through in-person and online public outreach events as well as curated materials is expected. The ideal candidate has an educational background in science, science journalism, project management, education, social science, marketing, or other related/suitable disciplinary backgrounds along with demonstrated skills in writing and editing, strong oral communication skills, the demonstrated ability to generate and help execute creative ideas and to assimilate and organize large amounts of information, and the ability to work independently and as part of a small, interdisciplinary, distributed team.

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 Sep  1. Remote work may be considered for exceptional candidates. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Liz MacDonald (eliz.macdonald@gmail.com) with any questions.
