CEDAR email: Job opening: PhD candidate in high-latitude space–atmosphere coupling at the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, Finland

[Maxime Grandin]

Dear CEDAR community,

We are looking for a doctoral researcher to work on high-latitude 
space–atmosphere coupling in an ERC Starting Grant project (LOUARN). The 
tasks will include developing and using novel analysis methods 
leveraging citizen science optical data and investigating energy 
deposition into the high-latitude upper atmosphere associated with space 
weather processes using measurements from a wide range of instruments.

The work is to be carried out within the Space Weather group of the 
Finnish Meteorological Institute on the Kumpula campus in Helsinki, 
Finland (partial remote work is possible). The initial contract will 
have a duration of two years, but the position is funded for four years 
(standard duration for PhD thesis completion in Finland).

Please find the full announcement and send your application via the 
Valtiolle.fi recruiting platform: 
https://valtiolle.fi/en/jobs/doctoral-researcher-space-physics-16909/

Important dates:
– Deadline for sending in applications: 8 Dec 2025, 12:00 UTC
– Foreseen interview dates (online): 11–18 Dec 2025
– Earliest starting date: 19 Jan 2026
