NCAR Advanced Study Program (ASP) and High Altitude Observatory (HAO: Boulder, Colorado) – Postdoc Positions, Application Deadline January 4, 2019

The Advanced Study Program (ASP) Postdoctoral Fellowship is an excellent opportunity to conduct independent research at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Early career Ph.D. scientists interested in theoretical, experimental and observational studies of the Sun and Earth’s upper atmosphere are encouraged to apply to the ASP and select the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) as the preferred NCAR unit.

Successful applicants will pursue research, in collaboration with members of NCAR and HAO scientific staff, on a wide range of topics, including study of the Earth’s ionosphere, thermosphere, and magnetosphere; observations and simulations of coronal mass ejections; spectro-polarimetric observations and their interpretation using HAO instrumentation and data inversion tools; probing solar magnetism through observations and modeling; and instrument development.

Postdoctoral fellows are appointed for a maximum of two years, typically beginning in October 2019; some flexibility is possible on the specific times of arrival and departure. Fellowships must begin by January 31, 2020.

The application deadline is January 4, 2019.
