1. Faculty Development in the Space Sciences
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Michael Wiltberger (mwiltber at nsf.gov)

The Geospace Section of the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences is pleased to offer awards for the creation of new tenure-track faculty positions within the intellectual disciplines which comprise the space sciences to ensure the health and vitality of solar and space sciences on university teaching faculties. The aim of these awards is to integrate research topics in solar and space physics into basic physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, geoscience, meteorology, computer science, and applied mathematics programs, and to develop space physics graduate programs capable of training the next generation of leaders in this field. Space Science is interdisciplinary in nature and the Faculty Development in the Space Sciences awardees will be expected to establish partnerships within the university community. NSF funding will support the entire academic year salary and benefits of the newly recruited tenure-track faculty member for a duration of up to five years with a total award amount not to exceed $1,500,000.

3. JOB OPENING:  Post Doctoral Position at University of Colorado and NOAA/SWPC
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Naomi Maruyama (Naomi.Maruyama at noaa.gov)

Applications are invited for a full-time post-doctoral position at University of Colorado Boulder, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). The successful applicant will work on magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling, with a particular focus on cross energy coupling in the inner magnetosphere and its interaction with the ionosphere and thermosphere. Proficiency in analyzing space- and ground- based observation data and performing computer model simulations is desirable. A Ph.D. in a field associated with space physics is required by the start date of appointment. For further information, please contact Naomi Maruyama (Naomi.Maruyama at noaa.gov).

The review will start upon a receipt of an application. The position is open until filled with the earliest possible start date of May 1, 2019. The appointment start date can be negotiated. The initial appointment is anticipated for one full year, with renewal likely for a second year, contingent on performance and availability of research funds. A second year of funding is anticipated. Salary will be commensurate with experience according to the university salary scaling. Benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage are included in the compensation package.

Interested applicants, please submit application online at
https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=16159 

Application package should include a CV, a cover letter with a research statement including your interest and potential contribution with regards to the research topic above, as well as name and contact information of two references.
