The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) has an immediate opening for a Research Scientist to join the CU-CIRES Space Weather group working within the space magnetic fields (MAG) team supporting NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) section on different NOAA/NASA spacecraft missions. The scientist will provide solar wind / heliophysics subject matter expertise, undertake solar wind scientific research, support spacecraft MAG instrument science efforts, work on MAG data product research-to-operations efforts and data product stewardship. We work on multiple satellite programs including the GOES-R mission series, the SWFO-L1 mission, SWFO-Next mission series, and solar sail concept mission studies.

A Ph.D. with emphasis on solar wind or heliophysics research is required. 

Please note that due to the requirement to access export-controlled data and information, only U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (green cards), or other protected individuals (i.e., persons designated as an asylee, refugee, or a temporary resident under amnesty provisions) may apply to this position.
