PhD students in space physics for studies of Mars and comets
The Solar System Physics and Space Technology research programme at
the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Kiruna invites applications
for PhD positions to study how the solar wind interacts with bodies in
the solar system.
We are looking for two students in the following science topic areas:
1. Mars-solar wind interaction, related to the ESA Mars Express
mission, with a focus on computer models.
2. Comet-solar wind interactions, related to the ESA Rosetta mission
to comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko, with a focus on data analysis.
The scientific investigations will use ion observations by our
instruments on Mars Express and Rosetta, respectively.
Starting date at the latest in the second half of 2020 for a total
duration of four years.
The PhD students will belong to the Department of Physics at Umea
University and must therefore fulfill the university requirements. The
Swedish National Space Agency and Umea University fund the positions.
