Job Description
| The solar-heliospheric research group in the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is seeking an exceptional candidate to fill a postdoctoral research scientist position in the field of space physics with an emphasis on in situ measurements of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The appointment is expected to start in Spring 2021, although earlier or later start dates can be negotiated. The main responsibilities of this position are to update and develop fitting and reconstruction codes and conduct data analysis to study the magnetic structure of coronal mass ejections.
