2. JOB OPENING: Post-Doctoral Position at New Jersey Institute of Technology - CSTR
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Rualdo Soto-Chavez, Louis Lanzerotti, Andrew Gerrard (arsoto at njit.edu)

The Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) of the New Jersey Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral position in numerical simulations of waves in space plasmas. We are looking for a candidate with strong background on Particle-in-Cell simulations of space physics and/or plasma physics. Experience in whistlers and/or chorus waves phenomena is highly desirable. The successful applicant will be expected to perform the duties of a post-doctoral fellow, including the publication of original research, submission of proposals, and the support of CSTR projects.
Applicants should have obtained by the starting date a PhD in plasma physics, space physics, geophysics, or related field. The start date of the appointment is flexible, however, earlier dates are preferred. The appointment is for one year, with a possible renewal for two more years based on successful applicant performance. Benefits are competitive and salary will be commensurate with applicant experience. 

The successful applicant will work with Dr. Rualdo Soto-Chavez, as well as Dr. Louis Lanzerotti and Prof. Andrew Gerrard. Applicants are required to complete an on-line application through our website at: https://njit.jobs/ and search for posting # 0603715. You can click on the "Search Postings" link at the left, and enter the number 0603715 to find the link to the job and instructions.  Candidates will need to submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, a brief statement of research interests, and the names of three professional references. Questions may be directed to Dr. Rualdo Soto-Chavez  arsoto at njit.edu.

The Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, in Newark, NJ, is a worldwide leading institution in solar and space physics. CSTR is a PI organization in the NASA Van Allen Probes mission, manages the Polar Engineering Development Center, and operates the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) and the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA) in California.
