CEDAR email: PhD position available at the University of Oslo, Norway

[Wojciech Jacek Miloch]

Dear Colleagues,

A PhD position is available at the University of Oslo. Please inform potential candidates!


PhD Research Fellowship in Plasma and Space Physics - numerical simulations

Job description
A position as PhD Research Fellow in Plasma and Space Physics, with the focus on numerical simulations of plasma phenomena in the polar ionosphere, is available at the Department of Physics. The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years.

Within the scope of the project for this position, the successful PhD candidate will work with large scale numerical simulations with numerical particle-in-cell codes to study the evolution of plasma instabilities and onset of turbulence at kinetic levels, accounting also for auroral particle precipitation and weakly collisional plasmas. The candidate will also relate this work to results from in-situ sounding rocket experiments in the ionosphere. Another task will also be to address rocket payload-plasma interactions in order to understand the measurement conditions. Strong collaboration with other participants in the project is required. The successful candidate will be the member of the 4DSpace Strategic Research Initiative, as well as the Section for Plasma and Space Physics at the Department of Physics. The main focus of these groups is to advance our understanding of processes in the high-latitudeionosphere, including plasma irregularities, turbulence and space weather effects in the polar regions. The position is funded through the ERC Consolidator Grant entitled: “4DSpace: integrated study for space weather at high latitudes”.

Deadline: 23 June 2022.
