hela Sverige Work with data from the Rosetta Ion Composition Analyzer (dnr: 2.2.1-235/16)
The Solar System Physics and Space Technology research programme at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna invites applications for a temporary research position in Space Physics, related to the ESA Rosetta mission to comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta is the first mission to follow a comet for an extended time, from low activity far from the sun to high activity around perihelion. Applications are invited both for a 2-year post-doc position and for shorter periods for senior guest scientists.
The advertised position is a research position for studies of the cometary plasma environment and its interaction with the solar wind primarily using ion data from the Ion Composition Analyzer (ICA) on board Rosetta but also using data from the other instruments that form the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC).
Previous experience of working with plasma and/or particle data from space missions is required. Relevant experience with planetary - solar wind interaction studies is a merit for post-docs and a requirement for senior guest scientists.
Post-doc candidates should have completed a PhD during 2013 or later. However if the candidate has an older degree and wants to refer to special circumstances, such as parental leave, this should be clearly stated. Candidates planning to obtain their PhD degree no later than January 2017 can also apply. A post-doc candidate should not currently be an active researcher at IRF.
The position, placed in Kiruna, is funded by the Swedish Research Council and is for up to 2 years.
