CEDAR email: Space Weather postion in Norway (second of two postions)

[Johnsen Magnar Gullikstad]

Scientist at Space Weather Centre at the Faculty of Science and
Technology, Tromsø Geophysical Observatory

Application deadline: 7. August 2014
Applications shall be marked:  2014/3337

UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Faculty of Science and Technology
has a vacancy for a Scientist as a member of the staff of Tromsø
Geophysical Observatory (TGO). The goal is to establish, operate and
expand a Space Weather Centre at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
The Space Weather Centre will be organized as a self-contained
department of Tromsø Geophysical Observatory and will operate according
to a tailored mandate. Officially, the Space weather staff will be
subordinate to the TGO leadership and steering committee, but will, in
practice, be trusted with a considerable degree of autonomy. However, it
is expected that the space weather related observations made at TGO
would be a backbone of services provided by the new centre. It is also
expected that future strategies of the centre be laid in cooperation and
conjunction with the observatory activities.
The establishment of the Space Weather Centre is expected to be
strategically in the framework of TGO's involvement in the ESA SSA
program. TGO is Expert Service Centre Coordinator for Geomagnetic
Conditions within this program and the successful applicant is expected
to be heavily involved with the ESC definition and development as per
P2-SWE-1.
