CEDAR email: 2 Job openings: Research Associate and PhD position in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Scientific Programming at GFZ Potsdam

[Dominika Sörgel]

*2 Job openings: Research Associate and PhD position in Data Science, 
Machine Learning, and Scientific Programming at GFZ Potsdam*

The department of Geophysics of GFZ German Research Centre for 
Geosciences invites applications for *1* *PhD position* and *1* 
*position of Research Associate in Data Science, Machine Learning, and 
Scientific Programming* in the group "Magnetospheric Physics”.

Candidates for the Research Associate position should have a PhD in 
space physics, plasma physics, or related field – for the PhD position a 
master’s degree in mathematics, physics, computer science or related 
field is required. Experience in programming (in particular in code 
development), as well as a strong knowledge of programming languages and 
operating systems is also required. Experience in machine learning, data 
mining, and data assimilation is a plus.

The PhD student will furthermore conduct research in the field of space 
physics, apply machine learning tools, modify and develop new 
physics-based computer models and compare them with observations.

Deadline: 17 November 2019

The work will be performed in the context of the EU Horizon 2020-funded 
consortium PAGER led by GFZ Potsdam, and of the Helmholtz 
Association-funded pilot project MAP also led by GFZ. The primary aim of 
PAGER is to provide space weather predictions initiated from 
observations on the Sun and to predict radiation in space and its 
effects on satellite infrastructure. In the frame of the MAP project, we 
aim to use ML tools to model the plasma density in the ionosphere and 
plasmasphere.
