The Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in solar physics. NJIT/CSTR houses the 1.6-m New Solar Telescope (NST) of the Big Bear Solar Observatory and a newly expanded solar radio telescope: the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA). The postdoctoral researcher will participate in the OVSA expansion project, conducting flare and space weather research using data from OVSA, NST, Jansky Very Large Array, and other observatories including ALMA, SDO, RHESSI, Hinode, and IRIS.

The successful candidate is expected to be a recent PhD in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field. The position is initially for one year but can be extended to two years or more contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. Interested applicants should submit a CV, a list of publications, a letter of interest, and contact information of three references to the NJIT recruitment system at http://njit.jobs (search for position number 0603192).
