POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER - Solar Coronal Physics - Boulder, Colorado
19-00161Who We Are:
The Department of Solar and Heliospheric Physics within SwRI’s Boulder office performs research, develops missions and instruments, and engages in outreach activities in solar and heliophysics, focusing on high energy processes in the solar corona and their propagation into the heliosphere. We are developing new missions for spectroscopic imaging of flares, coronal mass ejections, active regions, and the solar wind in the lower and middle corona, as well as new data analysis tools to support these projects.Objectives of this Role:
Develop new and advance existing solar coronal image processing and spectroscopic analysis techniques.Help build, calibrate, and test new remote sensing instrumentation for solar coronal imaging and spectroscopy.Under supervision, assist in developing new missions, mission concepts, and data analysis tools for solar coronal remote sensing research.Conduct applied and fundamental research relevant to these projects.Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:
Learn cutting edge techniques of solar coronal imaging and spectroscopy; prototype, develop, validate, and test software for data processing and analysis of solar coronal observations.Participate in mission and instrument development activities, including laboratory and/or field calibration and testing and development of flight software.Conduct applied and/or fundamental research using existing solar coronal observations and new mission data.Present progress and results within project teams, at scientific conferences, and in peer-reviewed publications.Requirements:
PhD in Solar Physics, Astronomy/Astrophysics, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field (current students may apply but must complete their degree prior to starting work).0-3 years of experience in scientific analysis of solar remote sensing data.0-3 years of experience in scientific software design or implementation in a data analysis environment such as Python or IDL.Interest or laboratory experience with solar remote sensing instrumentation.Interest or experience with X-ray, extreme ultraviolet, and/or infrared solar image and/or spectroscopic data.Interest or prior experience developing solar data calibration software.Special Requirements:
Work assignment is in Boulder, Colorado. This is a 1-year limited term assignment.Job Locations:
