The Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Iowa invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in experimental space physics. The position is available immediately for a term of two years with the possibility for a third year. Salary will be commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in physics or closely related field with experience in space plasma physics research. Projects include development of instrumentation for sounding rockets and laboratory plasma investigations as well as data analysis of measurements from the Polar and Freja spacecraft.
Experimental experience is strongly preferred.
In particular, skills in electronics, vacuum system operation, and particle instrumentation for space plasmas are desired.
