We seek a temporary researcher to support an effort to model atmospheric escape from planets. The researcher will use the well-known BATS-R-US MHD model to simulate the escape of charged particles from rocky planets. In collaboration with researchers from LASP and UCLA, they will design model runs, execute them, and analyze the results.

LASP is a world-renowned space science research institute at the University of Colorado Boulder. CU receives more NASA funding than any public university in the country, due in large part to LASP programs. Professional engineers work closely with scientists and assembly technicians in designing and building space flight hardware while helping mentor students as entry-level engineers working on these programs. LASP is particularly proud of a work environment that supports employee creativity and productivity and offers opportunities for diverse experiences and a broad range of responsibilities.
