PhD studies

In Uppsala, IRF and UU cooperate in the PhD education in physics with specialization in space and plasma physics. UU is responsible for the PhD programme and the examination, but the research work of the PhD student usually is within IRF with one of the IRF scientists as principla supervisors. The PhD student is usually also employed by IRF.
