Job Advertisement: Closing Date 15th May 2018 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.
