Postdoc Position in Space Plasma Physics at Los Alamos
National Laboratory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Vania Jordanova <vania at lanl.gov>
Los Alamos National Laboratory seeks candidates for a postdoctoral
position in space plasma physics with the Space Science and Applications
Group (ISR-1). This is a two-year position with the possibility of an
extension to a third year. The candidate chosen for this position will
be expected to pursue data analysis and numerical modeling studies of
the inner magnetosphere and associated space weather effects.
Specifically, the research will study the role of substorm injections
and wave-particle interactions in the dynamics of the ring current and
the radiation belts.
The selected candidate will have the opportunity to interact with
Laboratory staff engaged in a broad range of observational,
computational, and theoretical research in plasma physics of the
terrestrial magnetosphere. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in
space physics or appropriate similar fields obtained within the last
five years, or soon to be completed. They should have demonstrated
ability to pursue independent research and work as a member of a team,
as well as a strong record of publication. Experience with numerical
simulations on large-scale computers is highly desirable. For general
information about postdoctoral positions at Los Alamos, see
www.lanl.gov/careers/career-options/postdoctoral-research/index.php.
For specifics about this position, contact Vania Jordanova
(505-667-9908, vania@lanl.gov) or Mike Henderson (505-665-7425,
mghenderson@lanl.gov). Interested candidates should send their CV,
publications list, statement of research interests, and the names and
email addresses of three references to vania@lanl.gov.
Los Alamos National Laboratory is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative
Action employer operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the US
Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. Review
of applicants will start immediately and continue until the position is
filled.
