The Department of Physics at Umeå University, Sweden, offers a
postdoctoral scholarship (2 years) in high-performance computing (HPC)
for space weather applications.
To enable the future development of powerful space weather forecast
models, we must first improve our understanding of the rapidly varying
currents in the ionosphere and the mechanisms by which they generate
geoelectric fields and geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the
ground and in human infrastructure.
In this project, we will develop efficient HPC algorithms for analyzing
ionospheric data from radar systems such as EISCAT_3D and from the
Kiruna ALIS_4D Auroral Large Imaging System. We will also develop
efficient HPC algorithm for modeling and identifying geoelectric fields
and identifying GIC hotspots in Sweden.
Last day to apply is 19th of February, 2026. Starting date is 1st of
April, 2026, or by agreement.
