Post Doc Research Position available at the NOAA/Space Weather Prediction Center working with DSCOVR and WSA-Enlil

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is seeking a full-time Research Associate to work with the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
to support the DSCOVR solar wind mission.  SWPC receives DSCOVR solar wind thermal plasma and magnetic field data in near-real-time and processes it to Level 2.  CIRES is looking for applicants capable of producing science quality space weather products from the DSCOVR data.  The successful applicant would work within the Applied Research and Testbed section of the Space Weather Prediction Center.  The successful applicant will be expected to take the lead in producing the products for the benefit of SWPC forecasters and customers.  In addition, SWPC is interested in research which enhances the ability to increase the utility of in-situ solar wind observations.  There is also the opportunity to get involved with the operational WSA-Enlil model and investigating ensemble modeling possibilities and use of data assimilation.  Funding is available for at least 3 years.

We expect to begin reviewing applications on or about July 20.
