• Designing, developing, and applying high‑fidelity models for simulation and synthesis.
• Data analysis and interpretation from in‑situ observations (including satellite constellations) and ground‑based remote sensing systems.
• Operating, maintaining, and conducting experiments in plasma chamber facilities, including spacecraft charging and flight instrumentation characterization studies.
• Supervision, mentoring, and teaching of undergraduate engineering and science projects, as well as graduate student theses and dissertations.
• Collaborating with researchers within CSAR and external partners.
• Presenting research findings at scientific conferences and contributing to peer‑reviewed publications.

To be considered, attach all relevant materials when you apply online. Complete submissions include:

• Cover letter
