Utah State University is Hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow II Near Logan, UT

Overview:

Utah State University's Department of Physics in the College of Science is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Postdoctoral Fellow II).

The Antarctic Gravity Wave Imaging Network (ANGWIN) is a cooperative effort of six international Antarctic programs to collect continent-wide gravity wave (GW) measurements. The network capitalizes on existing optical and radar measurement capabilities around the Antarctic continent and at the South Pole. Utah State University operates several infrared (IR) all-sky mesospheric OH (hydroxyl) imagers, and Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) instruments, to develop unprecedented resources for studying GW properties on a continental scale. ANGWIN represents a novel opportunity for the international Antarctic research community to work together producing "high impact" science well above that which can be achieved individually.

The main research goals for this project are:

  • Further investigate the characteristics, sources and regional variability of GWs and quantify their impacts (fluxes) over Antarctica,
  • Investigate the occurrence, global structure and variability of prominent mesospheric planetary waves (PWs) and their effects on GWs over Antarctica,
  • Continue and enhance our international ANGWIN collaboration by involving other institutions and measurement capabilities to advance Antarctic mesospheric research.

Starting date
Temporary position starting in September 2023 or earlier.
Duration
2 years, with the possibility of continuing depending on funding.

Responsibilities:

The postdoctoral researcher will be closely involved with ANGWIN instrumentation, data processing and analysis. He/she will participate in the following activities:

  • Image processing using techniques such as machine learning or spectral analysis (M-transform),
  • Investigation of GW characteristics and effects on the upper atmosphere,
  • Maintenance of instrumentation in Antarctica (South Pole and McMurdo stations),
  • Mentorship to graduate and undergraduate students,
  • Biennial international ANGWIN workshops,
  • Publication of results in scientific journals and presentation at national and international conferences,
  • If the postdocs career plans include a significant teaching component, he/she may teach a class in the Physics department according to the postdocs experience and the current needs of the department.
Qualifications:

Ph.D. by time of appointment. The candidate should have a strong research background in remote sensing, with a preference for experience in atmospheric dynamics, experience working with real and model data, and a history of research productivity as evidenced by coauthor publications and first-author conference presentations.

Required Documents:

Along with the online application, please attach:

  1. Resume/CV to be uploaded at the beginning of your application in the Candidate Profile under Resume/CV
