Welcome!
The Department of Physics at Umeå University, Sweden, offers a PhD
position on space weather modeling where we will study how ionospheric
currents drive space weather effects in Sweden. We will study how
currents in the ionosphere cause rapid changes in the ground-level
magnetic field and generate geoelectric fields and telluric currents,
and how these in turn can cause GICs that affect power distribution lines.
Last day to apply is 20th of May, 2026. Starting date is 14th of
September, 2026, or by agreement.
The project is financed by the Swedish Space Research School.

Welcome!
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.

Dear EISCAT users,
The British Antarctic Survey invites applications for a post-doctoral position working on the tracking of Joule heating on the small scale using SuperDARN, EISCAT and finescale auroral data from the ASK system.
The Space Weather and Atmosphere Team at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has a long and productive history of investigating the plasma behaviour of the ionosphere with ground based polar instrumentation. The successful applicant will be a key player in the MAHSSIV project team (Missing Atmospheric Heating from Small-Scale Ionospheric Plasma Variations).
At BAS we believe everyone plays a vital role, is unique and valued, therefore, we embrace diversity as well as equality of opportunity and are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming working environment where everyone’s unique perspectives are valued.
The full job advert with more details of the post and access to the online application system is available here:
https://bas.ciphr-irecruit.com/applicants/vacancy/832/Space-Weather-Scienti…
The post is for 3 years and 10 months based in Cambridge, UK. The application deadline is 7th December 2025.
If you have any questions please contact Dr. Emma Woodfield, emmwoo(a)bas.ac.uk<mailto:emmwoo@bas.ac.uk>
Kind regards
