CEDAR email: Senior Research Associate in Ionospheric Physics at Lancaster University

[Grocott, Adrian]

Lancaster University is pleased to offer a post-doctoral research position working on a NERC-funded project investigating the Drivers and Impacts of Ionospheric Variability (DRIIVE). In this role you will be based in the Space and Planetary Physics group within the Physics Department at Lancaster University's Bailrigg Campus and will join a large consortium of scientists spread across 10 UK institutes working to understand multiscale variability in the high latitude ionosphere. You will work with data from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) and European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radars to investigate the properties of medium scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) and their possible geomagnetic and solar wind drivers.

Individuals with skills in data analysis and exploitation and a background in space physics, including ionospheric physics, are encouraged to apply. The post offers further opportunities to participate, engage, and benefit from training, professional development and knowledge exchange activities.

Lancaster University Physics is strongly committed to an inclusive work environment, which includes fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our department.

The post is currently funded until the end of March 2026, with the possibility of an extension. Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Prof Adrian Grocott (a.grocott at lancaster.ac.uk<mailto:a.grocott at lancaster.ac.uk>) for further information about the position. Details of how to apply online can be found here: https://hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=0148-24.

Closing Date: 12 April 2024
