Noordwijk, NL
This is a non-renewable post for a limited duration of 4 years.
Location
ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands
Vigil is a Space Safety Programme cornerstone mission that will position a satellite at the fifth Lagrangian point (L5) with the objective of performing continuous observations of the Sun, and the space between the Earth and the Sun, to provide measurement data for space weather nowcasting and forecasting and for event-based warnings and alerts of solar events. The observations from L5 will complement space weather monitoring from the Sun-Earth line and enable more accurate space weather impact predictions and early warnings of the emergence of potentially hazardous solar weather conditions. ESA is cooperating on space weather monitoring with the US (NOAA and NASA) which is planning to continue maintaining operational space weather monitoring on the Sun-Earth line through missions to the first Lagrangian point (L1) and with instruments on-board satellites orbiting the Earth.
You will report to the Head of the Space Safety Programme Office within the Directorate of Operations.
Your tasks and responsibilities will include:
Result Orientation
Operational Efficiency
Fostering Cooperation
Relationship Management
Continuous Improvement
Forward Thinking
A PhD in the field of space physics or space environment modelling is required for this post.
Particular importance will be attached to your experience and ability to coordinate and manage external scientific and industrial teams conducting studies and model development activities, to communicate, and to behave with tact, diplomacy and discretion.
You should be familiar with the current state-of-the-art in space weather or heliophysics research or the development of operational space weather applications.
A vision of how the European and international space weather service landscape will look in 5 – 10 years will be considered an asset.
Strong problem-solving skills to deal with day-to-day operational challenges, together with demonstrated planning and organisational skills, as well as good communication skills will be considered an asset.
