<div class="">1) Postdoctoral Research Fellow (3-years) in Plasma and Space Physics: Ionospheric Plasma Irregularities. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Over the next years, the 4DSpace team at the University of Oslo (<a href="http://www.mn.uio.no/4dspace" class="">www.mn.uio.no/4dspace</a>) will be involved in several rocket launches into the polar ionosphere. All of these rockets will during
flight eject small sub-payloads which will for the first time make multi-point observations of the ionospheric plasma density at unprecedented spatial resolution. These unique data will facilitate the search for dispersion relations at different scales, as
well as the multi-scale mapping of turbulent structures. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The successful candidate will work in a team of scientists on a development of new data analysis techniques for multi-point measurements of plasma density by a rocket and its sub-payloads. The candidate will then apply these techniques to data
from rocket experiments to study irregularities and turbulence in the cusp F region ionosphere. The in-situ results will also be compared with advanced numerical models. Due to its novel approach, it is expected that this project will to lead to several major
advances in the field of ionospheric turbulence.</div>

<div class="">2) Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2.75-years) in Space Physics: Space Weather in the Polar Regions.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Plasma and Space Physics Section and 4DSpace at the University of Oslo (<a href="http://www.mn.uio.no/4dspace" class="">www.mn.uio.no/4dspace</a>) focus on studying the processes in the high-latitude ionosphere, including space weather effects
in the polar regions. The main tools used for this research are ground-based instruments, including radar and optical systems (EISCAT, SuperDARN, all-sky-imagers), advanced numerical models, and instruments on board spacecraft and sounding rockets. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">4DSpace at the the University of Oslo has recently deployed instruments to Antarctica (Troll Research Station). These are complementary to instruments that the group operates in Svalbard and in northern Norway. In addition, the group works with
in-situ data from satellites (e.g., Swarm, Norsat-1) and sounding rockets.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The focus of the current project is to combine data from all these instrument platforms including also data from collaborative partners and to study the space weather phenomena at high latitudes in both hemispheres with the focus on Antarctica
and the Arctic regions. One of the main questions addressed will be inter-hemispheric asymmetries in the ionospheric response to geomagnetic activity at high latitudes.</div>
