The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research offers postdoctoral fellowships to early career Ph.D. scientists interested in theoretical, experimental and observational studies of the Sun, the Earth’s upper atmosphere and the coupled solar and terrestrial system. Successful applicants will pursue research, in collaboration with members of the HAO scientific staff, on a wide range of topics, including studies of the Earth’s mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere; observations and simulations of coronal mass ejections; spectropolarimetric observations and interpretation using HAO instrumentation and data inversion tools; probing solar magnetism through observations and modeling; and instrument development. See https://www2.hao.ucar.edu/partnerships/visitor-program/postdoctoral-fellows for further detail, or contact Kathy Peczkowicz (kathyp@ucar.edu) or Roberto Casini (casini@ucar.edu) for further information.

The HAO postdoc program is closely coordinated with the postdoc program of NCAR’s Advanced Study Program (ASP) and prospective applicants should apply through ASP and specify HAO as their host laboratory. ASP invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in areas broadly related to NCAR strategic priorities (https://ncar.ucar.edu/who-we-are/strategic-plan), including Earth system science and actionable science. Candidates should have completed their Ph.D. or should expect to complete their degree requirements by the end of September 2024. Applications from all related fields are welcomed. Prior to submitting your application, please review application instructions here: https://asp.ucar.edu/postdocs/prospective-applicants.

Fellowships are for 2 years and carry an annual salary of $73,000, travel budget of $3500 annually, in addition to a relocation allowance and full health and retirement benefits. The deadline for applications is October 31, 2023.
