CEDAR email: Job Adverts in Upper Atmosphere Modelling

[Sean Elvidge]

The University of Birmingham, UK, is looking to recruit *three* Research 
Fellows, each for 34 months, funded by the Space Weather 
Instrumentation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk (SWIMMR) programme.

SWIMMR is a £20 million, three-year programme that will improve the UK's 
capabilities for space weather monitoring and prediction with an 
emphasis on space radiation, changes in the upper atmosphere and, 
unwanted currents in power grids and other ground-level systems.

In the Space Environment group (SERENE 
<https://birmingham.ac.uk/SpaceWeather>) at the University of 
Birmingham, UK our work on SWIMMR is focused on improved modelling of 
the ionosphere and thermosphere based around our physics-based data 
assimilation model AENeAS.

We are seeking to appoint:

* Research Fellow focused on novel data assimilation techniques for 
upper atmosphere models (https://bit.ly/swimmrDA)
* Research Fellow focused on modelling and geolocation of ionospheric 
scintillation (https://bit.ly/swimmrScint)
* Research Fellow focused on improved thermospheric density modelling 
for satellite orbit determination (https://bit.ly/swimmrDen)

The final models will be used by the UK Met Office to forecast the upper 
atmosphere for aviation applications and orbit determination of 
satellites in low Earth orbit.
