Dear Colleagues,

There are several opportunities for students and young scientists planning to
participate in EGU General Assembly 2014, 27 April - 02 May, Vienna, Austria:

OUTSTANDING STUDENT POSTER (OSP) AWARD PROGRAM.
The Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST) Program Group takes part in the OSP
program, whereby undergraduate and PhD students can register to have their
posters take part. Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 January 2014. Full
information on eligibility is at:
https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/union-osp-award/

(2) Positions in the upper atmosphere and space physics at Korea Polar Research 
Institute (KOPRI).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Geonhwa Jee (ghjee at kopri.re.kr).

The Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) invites applicants for the
position of a permanent research scientist and a post-doctoral research
fellow in the upper atmosphere and space science, which will be available
from January 1, 2014 until filled.

KOPRI performs a world-class program of scientific research, survey and
long term observations that require access to the Arctic/Antarctic or
related regions in the variety of research fields including atmospheric
science, upper atmospheric and space science, biology, oceanography,
paleo/cryo-science etc. For these research activities, we are operating
two Antarctic stations in the King George island and Terra Nova Bay in
Antarctica, one Arctic station at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, and an Icebreaker.
General information for KOPRI can be found at http://www.kopri.re.kr.

The upper atmosphere and space science group at KOPRI is conducting
observations for the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region
using Michelson interferometers, spectral airglow temperature imager
(SATI), all-sky camera, and meteor radar in our Arctic/Antarctic stations
and will start new observations for the ionosphere and thermosphere
using Vertical Incidence Plused Ionospheric Radar (VIPIR) and Fabry-Perot
interferometer (FPI) at our new Antarctic station in 2014. Main research
objectives in the group are the lower and upper atmosphere coupling and
the ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling in the polar region, in addition
to the physical characteristics of the polar MLT and ionosphere-thermosphere
systems. The successful candidates will be involved in the field work for
the experiments in the Arctic and Antarctic stations as well as the analysis
of the data obtained from these instruments in strong collaboration with
several universities in Korea.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D in space physics or related field and Korean
nationality is NOT required to apply for both positions. The positions are
remunerated according to the Korean salary scale. Please contact
Dr. Geonhwa Jee for further information: Tel: +82-(0)32-760-5306,
e-mail: ghjee at kopri.re.kr or geonhwa.jee at gmail.com

(3) CISM Space Weather Summer School, July 21–August 1, 2014, NCAR, Boulder, CO 
- Application Deadline: March 1, 2014.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Michael Wiltberger <wiltbemj at ucar.edu>.

The CISM Space Weather Summer School is intended to give students a comprehensive
immersion in the subject of space weather: what it is, what it does, and what can
be done about it. Space weather is many things: beautiful when seen through the
eyes of a sun-viewing telescope, fascinating when studied for its alien worlds of
magnetic structures and phenomena, awesome when witnessed as a solar eruption or
auroral storm, and devastating to the users of services it disrupts. Space weather
links the Sun, the Earth, and the space in between in a branching chain of
consequences. Weather systems on the Sun can spawn interplanetary storms of 
colossal
size and energy that envelop the whole planet in electrical hurricanes. Such storms
attack high-tech, complex, and expensive technological systems that provide much of
the infrastructure that allows modern society to function.

Applications are welcome from upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate
students interested in pursuing a career in solar and space physics, as well as
professionals interested in broadening their understanding of the space 
environment.
The school will provide support for travel and housing expenses for all US student
participants.

Course Overview

* SW 101: Solar activity, solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere 

* SW 102: Effects on astronauts and spacecraft, radiation hazards, communication 
disruptions

* SW 103: Assumptions and drivers of models, results and limitations

* SW 104: Hands on activities exploring model results and data to understand the 
space environment
