A specific question of the project is how, and to what extent, small scale ionospheric disturbances caused by auroral particle precipitation contribute to this magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. The project aims to develop a comprehensive time-dependent model of the interaction of the auroral electrons with the upper atmosphere. The project also involves work with data from the auroral particle and optical measurements on board satellites (Reimei, CASSIOPE/e-POP) as well as ground-based optical and radar measurements conducted by groundbased optical imagers (e.g. MIRACLE, ALIS/ALIS_4D) and by the EISCAT radars.
Candidates should have completed (or expect to complete) a PhD in space physics or a related field during 2013 or later. Candidates planning to obtain their PhD degree before February 2017 may apply for this position. If the candidate has an older degree and wants to refer to special circumstances, such as parental leave, this should be clearly stated. Candidates should demonstrate experience with computer modelling. Previous experience in space-related data analysis is an advantage. The candidate should not currently be an active researcher at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.
The position, placed in Kiruna, is funded by the Swedish National Space Board and is for up to 2 years.
Applications should include a CV, a short letter (one page) stating research interests and relevant experience, copies of academic transcripts and contact information for two professional references.
Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is a governmental research institute that conducts postgraduate education and research 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 about one hundred employees and offices in Kiruna (headquarters), Umeå, Uppsala and Lund.
