CEDAR email: senior scientist position at the Norwegian Centre for Space Weather

[Dániel Martini]

Senior Scientist at Space Weather Centre at UiT - The Arctic University of Norway
Application deadline: 31.03.2017

UiT The Arctic University of Norway has a vacancy for a scientist as a member of the staff of Tromsø Geophysical Observatory (TGO) and working for The Norwegian Centre for Space Weather (NOSWE). The establishment of NOSWE is strategically in the framework of TGO's involvement in the European Space Agency (ESA) Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program. TGO is the Geomagnetic Conditions Expert Service Centre (G-ESC) Coordinator within this program, and the successful applicant is expected to be heavily involved with the related product development as per P2-SWE-1 and subsequent ESA SSA activities.



The position is available for a period of 3 years, with a good possibility of permanent employment. There is a strong possibility for funding beyond the terms of this job description since the overall ESA SSA programme is expected to span at least a decade.



Further information about the position is available by contacting:
