Dear colleagues,

The Laboratory of Space Physics and Astronomy in the Institute of 
Research and Development at the University of Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP), 
São José dos Campos, Brazil, is seeking a Ph.D. student to work in one 
of the following subjects:

  	* Ionospheric sporadic E-layers (observation and modeling);
  	* Ionospheric irregularities and scintillations (modeling and 
prediction);
  	* Machine learning approach for regional ionospheric study.

The selected candidate will start classes in the second semester of 2024 
(middle of August). Programming skills and experience in ionospheric 
physics and space weather are desired. We also expect from the candidate 
strong ability to work both independently and collaboratively with 
individuals from a wide spectrum of backgrounds. The research will be
