Swedish Institute of Space Physics is looking for a test engineer for electrical tests of the instrument PEP for the JUICE mission. Applicants are invited for a temporal position to perform electrical and functional tests of Particle Environment Package (PEP) for the ESA JUICE mission during a test campaign performed by European Space Operation Center…
Solar Orbiter has observed for the first time a solar magnetic switchback – a sudden reversal of the solar wind’s magnetic field. Luca Sorriso-Valvo, scientist at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala is part of the international team that performed the observation in the solar corona. On 25 March 2022, Solar Orbiter was orbiting…
Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Uppsala is looking for an embedded software engineer. Do you want to work with programming of future spacecraft in a team at the forefront of science? The Space Plasma Physics research programme at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Uppsala invites applications for a full-time position…
The Swedish Institute of Space Physics is looking for a postdoc in space physics. Applications are invited for investigations of collisionless shocks, in particular of the Earth’s bow shock. The work involves the analysis of magnetic, electric, and plasma measurements from the multi-spacecraft Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. Our team performs observations, data analysis, and modeling…
Applications are invited for the investigations of kinetic plasma processes at Earth’s magnetopause and magnetotail. The work involves the analysis of magnetic, electric, and plasma measurements from the multi-spacecraft Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. Our team performs observations, data analysis, and modeling of space plasma processes (www.space.irfu.se). The team has decades of experience in developing and…
SOFTWARE SYSTEM ENGINEER for science instrumentation The Space Plasma Physics research programme at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala invites applications for a full-time one-year position as a scientific instrument software system engineer. The main work is testing and documentation of the software from a system perspective for the Radio & Plasma Waves…
Physics of the Terrestrial Magnetosphere We have long been working on satellite-measured ion data (from Prognoz-7, Viking, Freja, Atrid-1 and -2, Munin, and Cluster) related to ion acceleration along the geomagnetic field and other energization, particularly related the auroral phenomena, solar wind plasma entry to the magnetosphere, magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, ion outflow from the ionosphere, circulation…

In the doctoral thesis that Konrad Steinvall, Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Uppsala University, presents on June 8, new results are presented on how waves in electrically charged gas, space plasma, interact with the plasma itself in connection with an explosive process called magnetic reconnection. The process is connected to both solar storms and…
