[Dominika Sörgel]

*2 Job openings: Research Associate and PhD position in Data Science and 
Scientific Programming, Deadline: 24 March 2020*

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 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: 24 March 2020

The work will be performed in the context of the EU Horizon 2020-funded 
consortium PAGER led by GFZ Potsdam. The other members involved are the 
University of Warwick, University of Michigan, Institute of Atmospheric 
Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and Artenum SARL. 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. The PAGER team will combine 
state-of-the-art models covering all the way from the Solar surface to 
the Earth’s inner magnetosphere. We will also run ensembles of 
physics-based and machine-learning models to make probabilistic 
predictions of the space weather conditions 1-2 days in advance.
