CEDAR email: Researcher position, Ionospheric Plasma Modeling and Experiments, available at the University of Oslo, Norway

[Wojciech Jacek Miloch]

Dear All,

A Researcher position in Plasma and Space Physics - Ionospheric Plasma Modeling and Experiments is available at the University of Oslo. Please inform potential candidates!


Job description:
A position as a Researcher in Plasma and Space Physics, with a focus on numerical studies of ionospheric plasma processes in the polar regions, is available at the Department of Physics. The position is for 3 years. PhD degree is required. Within the framework of the position, duties may be assigned. Starting date as soon as possible.

The position is funded in part through the ERC Consolidator Grant entitled: “4DSpace: integrated study for space weather at high latitudes” (55%) and in part through other external projects (45%). The project “4DSpace: integrated study for space weather at high latitudes” combines in-situ experiments by sounding rockets, ground-based measurements, numerical modeling, and satellite data. It aims to determine the role of auroral particle precipitation at different geomagnetic conditions in forming plasma density irregularities at various altitudes, by accounting also for collisions with neutral background. It will also establish foundations for the physically based forecasting of scintillations of trans-ionospheric radio waves in the polar regions.

Within the scope of the ERC Consolidator Grant project, the successful candidate will be responsible for 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.

Deadline: 29th September 2022.
