Conferences (2013)
European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2013
April 7–12, 2013
Vienna, AUSTRIA
Session PS2.2: Venus. Venus express arrived at Venus 11 April 2006, and thus celebrates its 7 years in orbit
anniversary during the EGU GA 2013. A wealth of information on our neighbor planet has been gathered during this
period on topics spanning from the planetary surface, the atmosphere, to the plasma environment. This session will
be open for presentations on results and analysis of data both from space and from ground based observatories, as
well as for new theories and measurement approaches and new missions ideas.

NASA Postdoctoral Fellowships
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers scientists and engineers unique opportunities to conduct research at
NASA Centers. Each NPP fellowship opportunity is designed to advance NASA research in a specific project related
to space science, earth science, aeronautics, exploration systems, lunar science, astrobiology, or astrophysics.
Applications are accepted three times each year: March 1, July 1, and November 1.

Venus Opportunities
At NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), concentrating on in-situ Venus geophysics/atmospheric physics and
chemistry science carried out in Venus relevant environments, and exploring the capabilities of potential harsh
environment instrumentation suites to provide relevant science data related to these studies.

Venus Postdoc
The Center for Space Physics at Boston University, analysis of observations from the ionospheres of Venus and
Mars, supplemented by numerical simulations. Funding is available for two years with the possibility of extension.
The appointment is expected to begin as soon as possible after June 1, 2013. Review of applications will begin on
April 30, 2013. Please contact Paul Withers for further information. The application should be submitted in PDF
format and contain a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and contact information for three referees.
