This position, supervised by Dr. Xin An, the new faculty member of the Department of Space Science at UAH, will support research on lunar wake physics using ARTEMIS spacecraft data, focusing on analysis of particle dynamics and electromagnetic field observations to characterize the near-lunar plasma environment.

Duties / Responsibilities:

• Analyze ARTEMIS spacecraft observations of particle velocity distributions, electric and magnetic fields, and plasma waves in the lunar wake environment.
• Develop data analysis pipelines and scientific software tools for spacecraft measurements.
• Conduct or interpret kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to support observational findings.
• Collaborate with internal group members, students, and external research collaborators.
• Prepare peer-reviewed manuscripts and present research results at national and international conferences.

• Ph.D. wit...
