	Please see the following ad for a postdoctoral position in my group at West Virginia University.  Please let me know at the email below if you have any questions.  

	Thanks,

Postdoctoral Fellow – Plasma Physics (PHYSIC 16-01)

The West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC) invites applications for postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at West Virginia University (WVU). The purpose of this position is to carry out cutting edge research on the topic of magnetic reconnection and its manifestations in solar, magnetospheric and/or planetary sciences. One goal is to determine how reconnection proceeds in systems where there is a pressure gradient across a magnetic reconnection site that has an out-of-plane (guide) magnetic field and an upstream flow. This is important for magnetospheric and planetary applications. Another goal is to contribute to the understanding of the nature of ribbons in solar flares.

A PhD in Physics or a related field and experience in high performance computing, especially particle-in-cell simulations are required.

Competitive salary and benefits package offered. For a complete job description and to apply for this position, please visit http://hr.research.wvu.edu <http://hr.research.wvu.edu/> and click on the “View Jobs” link. Qualified applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references as part of the application process. Applications will be considered starting September 9, 2016, and will be considered until the position is filled. The start date can be immediate or at a negotiated time in the near future. For questions or additional information, contact Dr. Paul Cassak, 304-293-5102, email: Paul.Cassak at mail.wvu.edu <mailto:Paul.Cassak at mail.wvu.edu>.
