Postdoctoral position in cometary plasma physics at IRF in Uppsala, Sweden
The Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Uppsala, Sweden, is seeking
candidates for a postdoctoral position in space physics to study the
complex dynamics of a cometary ionosphere. Our group is responsible
for one of the plasma instruments on the Rosetta spacecraft to comet
67P, and we collaborate closely with other Rosetta teams. In this
project, there will also be collaboration with a team doing particle-
in-cell plasma simulations. The work involves both analysis of Rosetta
data and theoretical modeling. Experience in the analysis of space
plasma data is expected, and experience in relevant theoretical
modelling is an advantage.
Candidates should have completed a PhD during 2015 or later.
Candidates planning to obtain their PhD degree no later than September
2018 can also apply. The candidate should not currently be an active
researcher at IRF in Uppsala or the Department of Physics and
Astronomy at Uppsala University.
The position is available at our Uppsala office, located at the
Angstrom Laboratory, for 2 years. At IRF Uppsala some 20 researchers
work on the space plasma mainly around Earth, Saturn, Mars and comet
67P using data from our own instruments on e.g. Rosetta, Cluster, MMS,
Swarm and Cassini as well as other data. The project is financed by
the Swedish National Space Board.
