The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) has an immediate opening for a research scientist supporting NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) section on different NOAA/NASA spacecraft missions. This hire will work within the space magnetic fields (MAG) group providing space plasma physics subject matter expertise, support spacecraft MAG instrument science efforts, work on MAG data product research-to-operations efforts and data product stewardship. They are also expected to undertake scientific research, publish results in scientific journals and contribute to grant applications. The successful candidate will be an essential member of a team of scientists, analysts, data managers and software developers dedicated to diverse projects to validate, process, disseminate and do research with NOAA’s space weather data. We work on multiple satellite programs including the GOES-R mission series consisting of four spacecraft, and the SWFO-L1 mission that will orbit 1.5 million kilometers towards the Sun providing solar and solar wind measurements.

Requirements:

A Ph.D. in physics or similar scientific or engineering field with an emphasis on space plasma physics, heliophysics, solar physics, or a related field. 

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.
