Dear Colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
TWO PhD positions and ONE researcher position in space and plasma physics are announced at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, Norway. Please inform potential candidates and follow the links for more information (note different application deadlines).<br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">1) PhD Research Fellowship in Plasma and Space Physics – Ionospheric Plasma Processes in the Polar Regions,
</b><font color="#ff2600" class="">Application Deadline 10 MAY 2020.</font><br class="">
<br class="">
The position is funded through the ERC Consolidator Grant entitled: “4DSpace: integrated study for space weather at high latitudes”.<br class="">
The PhD candidate will carry out data analysis from the in-situ experiments in ionospheric plasmas from several sounding rocket experiments. <br class="">
The aim is be to identify and understand the statistical properties of plasma irregularities at specific geomagnetic conditions, which also include auroral particle precipitation and also considering collisional plasma at different altitudes.

<br class="">
<b class="">2) PhD Research Fellowship in Plasma and Space Physics – Space Weather Effects and Modeling,</b>
<font color="#ff2600" class="">Application Deadline 7 MAY 2020.</font><br class="">
<br class="">
The PhD project is related to the development of the physically based model for space weather and will be a part of a larger project within 4DSpace Strategic Research Initiative. <br class="">
In this project the focus is on the relationship between irregularities in the plasma density and scintillations of transionospheric radio signals. <br class="">
The candidate will put together observations from the in-situ and ground-based observations and will identify plasma conditions for severe disturbances in the signal propagation. <br class="">

<br class="">
<b class="">3) Researcher in Plasma and Space Physics - Ionospheric Plasma Modeling and Experiments,</b> Application <font color="#ff2600" class="">Deadline 18 MAY 2020.</font><br class="">
<br class="">
The position is funded through the ERC Consolidator Grant entitled: “4DSpace: integrated study for space weather at high latitudes”.<br class="">
The successful candidate will be responsible for large scale numerical simulations with numerical particle-in-cell codes to study the evolution of plasma instabilities and onset of turbulence at kinetic levels, accounting also for auroral particle precipitation
and weakly collisional plasmas. Good experience in numerical plasma simulations is required. <br class="">
