EISCAT Peer-Review Programme: Open Call for Applications
(sorry for any cross-posting)
The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for *observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2025*, by individual scientists,
research groups, and consortia*throughout the world on equal,
competitive basis*. This means that anyone can apply, independent of
whether or not the applicant is from an EISCAT associate country.
The present call is the first one for 2025. In total, *200 hours(*) of
experiment time* are open for international, peer-reviewed competition,
and are available for the use of any of the current EISCAT facilities.
Roughly half of this time is allocated in each call.
Please refer for more information and instructions how to apply to:
https://eiscat.se/scientist/schedule/eiscat-peer-reviewed-program/
The deadline for applications is *1 November 2024 at 24:00 UTC*.
*EISCAT Scientific Association is presently undergoing organisational
changes. The present programme is at the moment envisioned to continue
without changes but the programme itself or the usage/availability of
the awarded hours can be subject to change as a result of restructuring
of the organisation.

Dear Colleagues,
We are looking for a full-time Doctoral researcher for a period of three years, starting 1st January 2025, at the Space Physics and Astronomy Research Unit of the University of Oulu. The position is part of the Finnish national Doctoral Education Pilot for Mathematics of Sensing, Imaging and Modelling (DREAM). DREAM will educate in total 100 doctors located at 7 Finnish universities in a diverse and multidisciplinary setting, encompassing applied mathematics, physics, engineering, and applied sciences.
https://oulunyliopisto.varbi.com/what:job/jobID:748647/
The Space Physics project will include use and development of advanced incoherent scatter radar data analysis tools for novel observations of the ionosphere with the EISCAT3D radar system. The radar observations will be combined with data from other ground-based and satellite instruments to study particle precipitation, energy transfer processes, and plasma flows in the auroral magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system.
Requirements: MSc in Space Physics or a related field. Good programming skills are necessary. Experience in space physics datasets, inverse problems, and high-power computing are considered benefits, but are not required.
Please spread the word among colleagues and potential candidates!
More information: Dr. Ilkka Virtanen, ilkka.i.virtanen(a)oulu.fi<mailto:ilkka.i.virtanen@oulu.fi>

*PITHIA-NRF* (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research
Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities)
launches its *sixth call* to provide effective and convenient access to
the best European research facilities for observations of the upper
atmosphere, including the *plasmasphere*, *ionosphere* and
*thermosphere*. The access is organised through the Trans-National
Access (TNA) programme, and provides an opportunity for researcher and
other users to execute and carry out their own projects at one of the
twelve PITHIA-NRF research facilities. You can get information on the
*/PITHIA-NRF Nodes/* here
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/pithia-nrf-users/tna/nodes> and view details on
PITHIA-NRF assets by accessing the */PITHIA-NRF Knowledge Book/* here
<http://194.177.195.242/pithia_entities/ui>.
*What?*
The PITHIA-NRF nodes provide access to key experimental and data
processing facilities for studies and modelling of physical processes
acting in the Earth’s plasmasphere, ionosphere and thermosphere. The
facilities connected to the nodes are geographically distributed over
Europe, as well as internationally, and their expertise and dedication
span over a wide range of topics within the research area.
Users can request either *physical access* (one-week visit at the node
with support at site) or *remote access* (one month access from distance
with weekly support). Users with granted projects will learn how to work
with the facilities during the full access cycle, from setting up a
campaign, to collection, analysis and finally exploitation of data.
*When?*
The call is an *Open Call* - applications are handled as they arrive
with typical evaluation times of 2 to 3 weeks. The call closes on *31
May 2024*.
*Who?*
Access can be requested by scientific users from academia, Small and
