Job Advertisement: Closing Date 20th May 2019 PhD students in Space Physics to studies of space plasmas Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is a government agency conducting research and postgraduate education in space physics, atmospheric physics and space technology. Many of IRF's projects are run as large international projects in collaboration with other research institutes and space agencies. IRF has 100 employees and offices in Kiruna (headquarters), Ume, Uppsala and Lund (www.irf.se). IRF is looking for *PhD students in Space Physics to studies of space plasmas* Applications are invited for PhD students to study kinetic plasma processes operating in space plasma regions of fundamental importance, such as magnetic reconnection sites, shocks, and turbulence regions. Such processes operate in most astrophysical plasma environments leading to plasma heating and production of energetic particles. The students will work with experimental data from the NASA Magnetospheric MultiScale <https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mms/overview/index.html> mission. The positions are available at IRF's Uppsala office, located at the Angstrom Laboratory, starting by the second half of 2019 for a total of four years. The PhD students will belong to the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, and must fulfill the university requirements.
