Job Summary

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics is seeking a student or recent graduate to support the completion of a scientific research project using data from NASA’s Juno Mission. This position will assist with analyzing Juno-JADE data related to Jupiter’s magnetosphere, with a focus on identifying when and where the Juno spacecraft crossed key magnetospheric boundaries, including the Bow Shock and Magnetopause.

The primary goal of this work is to help develop a public-facing database of Juno boundary crossings and contribute to writing the results of the study into a publishable scientific paper. This is a short-term, part-time position intended to support the final stages of research, data analysis, documentation, and manuscript preparation.

CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We are committed to creating a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Who We Are

Founded a decade before NASA, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder is revolutionizing human understanding of the cosmos. LASP is deeply committed to inspiring and educating the next generation of space explorers. From enabling the first exploratory rocket measurements of Earth’s upper atmosphere to trailblazing observations of every planet in the solar system, LASP is at the forefront of solar, planetary and space physics research, space-weather monitoring, and the search for evidence of habitable worlds.

LASP advances scientific discovery and inspires the next generation through research, innovation, and education in space sciences. We employ over 700 scientists, engineers, support personnel, and students that work closely to cultivate creative ideas and explore novel solutions to make the impossible possible.

LASP is dedicated to building and maintaining a unique synergism of expertise in space science, engineering, and spacecraft operations. Through research projects, LASP participates actively in the training of the future leaders of space research and helps the University of Colorado to educate students with valued technical and scientific skills. Development and use of innovative technologies and continuing participation in new research initiatives ensures a strong leadership role for LASP into the future. LASP is proud of our work environment that supports employee creativity and productivity and offers opportunities for a broad range of experiences. Further information about LASP can be found here: https://lasp.colorado.edu/home/.

What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be

This position will be responsible for gathering, organizing, and analyzing Juno Mission data related to Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Key responsibilities include:
Reviewing and analyzing Juno-JADE data to determine the times and locations of Bow Shock and Magnetopause crossings.
Creating and maintaining a structured database of identified boundary crossings that may be made publicly available for future scientific use.
Using Python or similar programming tools to process, analyze, and organize spacecraft data.
Documenting analysis methods, assumptions, and findings in a clear and reproducible manner.
Assisting with the preparation of figures, tables, and written descriptions for inclusion in a scientific manuscript.
Contributing to the development of a publishable paper based on the research findings.
Working with the supervising researcher to refine data products, verify results, and support final publication preparation.

What You Should Know

This is a part-time, short-term position intended to support the completion of an existing research project and the preparation of a scientific paper.
The work will involve scientific data analysis using Juno Mission data and may require independent work, careful documentation, and regular communication with the supervising researcher.
Experience with Juno-JADE data is highly relevant to the role. The successful candidate should be comfortable working with scientific datasets, programming tools, and research documentation.
Depending on the nature of the data access and project requirements, the employee may need to follow applicable university, LASP, NASA, or project-specific data handling and publication guidelines.

What We Can Offer

$30 - $40 per hour.

Benefits

Temporary positions at the University of Colorado are not benefits-eligible, however, all positions are eligible for paid sick leave.

Be Statements

Be ambitious. Be groundbreaking. Be Boulder.

What We Require

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in physics, astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, space physics, engineering, or a closely related field.
Experience using Python for scientific data analysis.
Experience working with Juno-JADE data or closely related spacecraft/space physics datasets.
Experience conducting independent research or contributing to a scientific research project.
Ability to analyze scientific data and interpret results in the context of planetary magnetospheres, space plasma physics, or a related field.
Strong written communication skills, including the ability to contribute to technical or scientific writing.

What You Will Need

Strong Python programming skills for data analysis, data organization, and/or visualization.
Ability to work with large or complex scientific datasets.
Attention to detail when identifying and documenting spacecraft boundary crossings.
Ability to organize data in a clear, consistent, and reproducible format.
Ability to communicate scientific findings clearly in writing.
Ability to work independently while incorporating feedback from a supervising researcher.
Strong time management skills and the ability to complete work on a short-term project timeline.
Familiarity with scientific research methods, manuscript preparation, and publication standards.

What We Would Like You to Have

Prior experience analyzing Juno-JADE data.
Prior research experience related to Jupiter, planetary magnetospheres, bow shocks, magnetopauses, or space plasma environments.
Experience preparing or contributing to an honors thesis, research paper, poster, presentation, or manuscript.
Experience creating datasets or databases intended for public or shared scientific use.
Experience generating figures, tables, or other data products for scientific publication.
Interest in continuing research in planetary science, space physics, astrophysics, or a related graduate program.
