Posting Number: S07222P

Job Description:

The University of Texas at Dallas ( UTD ) is seeking to fill 2 Research Scientists in the W. B. Hanson Center for Space Sciences. The Center has a vigorous research program associated with fundamental and applied studies of the Earth’s ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere ( ITM ) system using space and ground-based experimental resources as well as numerical modeling.

There are currently nine Earth-orbiting platforms with CSS thermal plasma instruments on board. The Center has been selected to provide the Thermal Plasma Sensor ( TPS ) instrument for NASA’s Geospace Dynamics Constellation ( GDC ) Trailblazer mission with the expectation of future GDC missions. GDC is a satellite mission designed to investigate the coupling between the ionosphere and thermosphere and their response to external energy inputs. It will dramatically improve our understanding of the near-Earth environment and how disturbances (space weather) there impact human technology and society. The candidates will be expected to be a major part of this exciting mission.
