Guest Researcher (dnr: 2.2.1-161/22)
Swedish Institute of Space Physics are looking for a Guest Researcher for analysis and simulation of measurements in the ionosphere by the ESA SWARM satellite.
Tasks
The main task is analysis of measurements of ionospheric density and temperature by our Langmuir probes on SWARM regarding plasma structures at high, middle or low latitudes depending on the candidate’s experience and preferences. Instrumental effects can be present and must be separated from physical processes in the ionosphere. A report or draft of scientific publication shall be written.
Qualifications
Good general knowledge of Space Physics by PhD degree in this or a nearby subject. Experience of analysis of Langmuir probe data from space and algorithms for reduction and processing of such data. Experience of the simulation code SPIS (Spacecraft-Plasma Interaction System) is an adavantage.
The position is limited to five months with location in Uppsala. We apply individual salary setting.
