Research Scientist - SR. Research Scientist - Solar Physics – Spectroscopic Imaging - Boulder

Objectives of this Role:

• Develop and advance new and existing solar remote-sensing spectroscopic and/or imaging instrumentation and missions in ultraviolet, X-rays, and other wavelengths.
• Develop and advance new and existing solar spectroscopic analysis and data processing techniques, especially multi-dimensional spectrospatial deconvolution and differential emission measure analysis.
• Contribute to development of new laboratory facilities and procedures for testing and calibration of solar remote-sensing instruments.
• Propose and lead new applied and fundamental research projects relevant to solar coronal and chromospheric plasma physics, including instrumentation and missions to advance related research.

• Engage in largely self-directed research and development activities in support of the position objectives.
• Develop new and compelling research concepts for eventual implementation, in solar physics or other related fields.
• Lead new proposals to governmental or other agencies to pursue funding in support of the position objectives, for the applicant and other relevant personnel.
• Participate in existing data analysis and instrumentation projects for solar coronal spectroscopy and imaging.
• Present progress and results within the project core development teams, at scientific conferences, and in peer-reviewed publications.

• Requires a PhD in Solar Physics, Astronomy/Astrophysics, Applied Physics, or related fields with relevant experience.
• 3-5 years:
  Solar remote-sensing imaging and/or spectroscopic instrument development, including design, calibration, integration, and testing.
• 3-5 years:
  Experience in solar physics data analysis, theory, and/or modeling, demonstrated via a strong track record of peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and key roles on successfully funded proposals.
• 3-5 years:
  Specific experience in solar spectroscopic observations and data analysis, with emphasis on ultraviolet and X-rays, and multi-dimensional deconvolution.
