About this position
The Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on data analysis for magnetospheric and ionospheric studies. The project focuses on solar wind–magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling processes, using a mix of space- and ground-based observations to investigate geospace dynamics.
The successful candidate will work primarily with Dr. Hyomin Kim and other CSTR faculty members. The role is embedded in a research center with a broad observational footprint, including spacecraft data from missions such as Van Allen Probes, MMS, THEMIS, and Cluster, together with ground-based instrumentation such as magnetometers, auroral imagers, riometers, GPS, and incoherent scatter radars. The position also supports ongoing NSF ground instrument projects and CSTR’s wider research activity.
CSTR is one of the leading academic centers for solar-terrestrial research and operates major observing facilities, including the Big Bear Solar Observatory, the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array, SOFDI in Peru, and geospace instruments at U.S. Antarctic stations. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to original research, conference presentations, journal publications, proposal activity, and support for center projects, while also engaging in occasional instrument installation and service travel.
The appointment is within a dynamic research environment at NJIT, a public polytechnic university in Newark that emphasizes research, collaboration, and technological excellence.
