About The Position

The Center for Space and Atmospheric Research (CSAR) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is building a candidate pool for anticipated Research Engineer/Scientist positions. These roles will focus on ionospheric and atmospheric physics, planetary science, remote sensing, high-fidelity modeling and simulation, spacecraft data analysis, and in situ instrumentation. Opportunities may involve supporting ongoing and future ionospheric research, and collaborating on instrumentation, modeling, and basic science projects. Appointments can be at Senior or Principal Research Engineer/Scientist levels, depending on experience. These are expected to be full-time, benefits-eligible positions, with duration and renewal contingent on project funding, performance, and research needs.
