JOB OPENING: PhD student position in space physics at Umeå University:
Studying the geoeffectiveness of magnetosheath jets
The bow shock has long been considered to be a quite passive element of
space physics. However, recent studies show that it can have a far more
important role for the magnetosphere, with bow shock processes causing
geoffective responses (geomagnetic disturbances) all the way down to the
ionosphere: For example, magnetosheath jets (localized kinetic energy
enhancements) generated at the shock can impact the magnetopause and cause
disturbances in the geomagnetic field. In the project we will use data
from several spacecraft missions and ground-based observatories to
investigate the response of magnetosheath jets in the polar regions.
Starting date in September 2019 or by agreement. The project will be
conducted in close collaboration with scientists from the University
Centre in Svalbard and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,
Sweden.
Last day to apply is April 15, 2019. The entire advertisement can be found
