Monday Science Telecon, April 15, 2019

From: David Sibeck (david.g.sibeck at nasa.gov)

At 12:00 noon EST on Monday (April 15), we plan to hold the next in our ongoing series of science telecons. The speaker this Monday will be Daniel Welling from University of Texas Arlington. The topic will be "Fully Self-Consistent Simulations of the Plasmasphere, Plumes, and Dayside Magnetopause".

The telecom will be broadcast live via webex. If you would like to join, please go to http://uclaigpp.webex.com/ and enter the Meeting number: 280 328 066 (‘Dayside Science meeting). Please type your name and contact information, and then the meeting password, which is Substorm1!

To hear the audio, do not dial the number that pops up on the webex website. Instead, please dial the following toll-free (in the United States) number:
1-844-467-6272
with passcode 901533#

JOB OPENING: Post-doctoral Researcher in Geomagnetism

From: Arnaud Chulliat, Patrick Alken (arnaud.chulliat at noaa.gov)

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado is seeking a post-doctoral research scientist to work in the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Geomagnetism group. 

The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility of calculating accurate models of Earth's core geomagnetic field from fluxgate magnetometer data collected onboard current satellite platforms, including the Iridium satellite constellation. The successful applicant will collaborate with scientists from NCEI Geomagnetism and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) to determine and apply temperature corrections to the magnetic data, investigate and mitigate noise sources such as spacecraft fields, determine satellite attitude from other onboard sensors such as star cameras, calibrate the magnetic data, and finally build models of Earth's core field from the calibrated data.

Requirements:
- PhD in Physics, Geoscience, Mathematics, or related field.
- Familiarity with geomagnetism.
