1. First Community MMS Data Analysis Workshop, September 7-9, 2016, UCLA
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Chris Russell and Bob Strangeway (dr_russell at igpp.ucla.edu)

The first Community MMS Data Analysis Workshop will be held at UCLA on Wednesday to Friday, September 7 to 9, 2016. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the results of analyses of the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission data obtained across the worldwide user community. Papers selected for presentation must report analysis of the MMS data or the theory and simulations relative to the interpretation of these data.

Information about attendance at this meeting, including registration, abstract submittal, hotels, can be found at http://mmsteam.igpp.ucla.edu.

Attendance is limited to the first 200 registrants. NASA supported scientists must register in the NCTS system at least 60 days before the meeting, as this is a scientific meeting and not a MMS project meeting.

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.
