JOB OPENING: NASA GSFC Civil Servant Position in SEP Theory/Modeling
From: Judy Karpen (judy.karpen at
nasa.gov)
The Space Weather Laboratory (Code 674), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, is seeking a highly skilled scientist to provide expertise in theory, modeling, and numerical
simulation of the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles (SEPs), with particular emphasis on SEP model modification/development, validation, and testing; and participation in the CCMC’s ongoing collaboration with SRAG at Johnson SFC to develop
SEP prediction capabilities. The position also involves maximizing scientific return from upcoming NASA heliospheric missions (e.g., IMAP and PSP), and assisting with planning and design of new energetic-particle instruments and missions. Candidates should
have experience with developing or modifying numerical codes, and with comparing model predictions with observations from NASA missions and ground-based instrumentation. A Ph.D. degree in physics, space physics, computational physics, or related discipline,
and a proven track record of obtaining research funding, are highly desirable.
This is a civil servant position with NASA, for which U.S. citizenship is required. Applications at the GS13 or GS14 level are being accepted through the following USAJOBS
web site from 15 June – 13 July 2018.
