Dear the EISCAT user community members,
We have posted the following message on the EISCAT Slack (the e3d-cp-wg channel):
Thanks to all the EISCAT_3D Common Programme (CP) WG members, a draft of the EISCAT_3D CP
proposal is ready now. We share it with the EISCAT user community here.
The MS word file (with some comments), the PDF file, and the file on google doc are all
identical.
If you have any comments, suggestions for revisions, or questions, please post them in
this Slack or put them in the draft file on the google doc.
We look forward to constructive comments and/or specific suggestions.
We hope to revise the draft by the end of this year and start specific coordination with
the EISCAT_3D software working group.
The proposal file on the google doc:

Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the session R7 (Geospace) at ISAR-7 (Seventh International
Symposium on Arctic Research) to be held as a hybrid symposium (in person & online) on
March 6-10, 2023. On-Site location is National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR),
Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan.
ISAR-7 Web Site: https://jcar.org/isar-7/
The deadline of the submission of Abstract is October 31, 2022.
The deadline of the early-bird registration is December 19, 2022 and online registration
deadline is on February 6, 2023.
On-site registration is also available during the Symposium (March 6-10, 2023).
New entry restrictions and action measures for foreign nationals regarding COVID-19
infection in Japan was revised and relaxed from October 11, 2022. It is also announced at
the ISAR-7 Web Site. We sincerely look forward to your abstract submissions and to seeing
you at the symposium in-person as before.
Description of the session R7 is as follows:
This session is devoted to a forum to discuss recent progress on geospace in the Arctic
region, such as ground-based/space-borne observations, theories and modeling. Geospace is
the atmosphere/space near the earth, including middle atmosphere, upper atmosphere,
thermosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere. In the Arctic region, human lives and social
structures are sensitively affected by the change of geospace disturbed by solar
activities. Recent studies have indicated that the geospace in the Arctic region is not
only linked by magnetic field lines but also by atmospheric dynamical processes including
circulation and waves, and further affect the global atmosphere. Contributions from
international collaborative projects/facilities are highly encouraged.
If you have any inquiries, please contact the session conveners or ISAR-7 Secretariat
(ISAR-secretariat(a)nipr.ac.jp)

EISCAT Peer-Review Programme: Call for Proposals
(sorry for any cross-posting)
The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2023, 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.
While evaluations are merit based, in the case of two applications
having similar merits in evaluation, *preference will be given either to
those applicants who are new to the EISCAT facilities*, in order to
enlarge the EISCAT user community and further more open access to the
facilities, *or to the applicant showing stronger educational impact
in**their proposal*.
The present call is the first one for 2023. 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 to the details of the call at
https://eiscat.se/news/eiscat-peer-reviewed-program-experiments-3/
for more information.
The deadline for proposals is *1 Nov 2022* at 24:00 UTC.

Dear colleagues,
The Department of Physics at Umeå University in Sweden is offering a
postdoctoral scholarship in modeling plasma interaction with planetary
bodies. The scholarship is full-time for two years and the start date will
be
15 February, 2023 or by agreement.
The aim of our project is to advance our current understanding on the
kinetic interaction between the solar wind and planetary bodies of
different sizes and characteristics with the main focus on atmospheric
evolution using a hybrid model of plasma.
Application deadline is 1 December 2022.

*PITHIA-NRF Trans-National Access (TNA) 3^rd Call*
PITHIA-NRF (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research
Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities)
invites applications for access to a variety of the *best
**European**research facilities* (nodes) for studies and modelling of
physical processes acting in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, with support
from experts within the field. There are twelve nodes within PITHIA-NRF
all dedicated to investigating the plasmasphere, ionosphere and/or
thermosphere.
The access can be *physical access* (one-week visit with travel and
accommodation included) or *remote access* (one-month remote access with
weekly support). The available services or resources are limited, and a

criteria for the selection of users.
*Project opportunities:*
Information of project opportunities and description of the nodes are
available at https://pithia-nrf.eu/tna/tna-calls/second-tna-call. We
encourage any potential applicants to discuss with the relevant node

Hello,
After my last email I had hoped to start the SW Working Group in earnest by
allowing a small number of users to work together with EISCAT staff on the
prototype sub-array that we have here in Kiruna. This sadly has not happened.
Last year the best guidance that we had was that the prototype sub-array would
not be affected by the new security situation. We now know that allowing users
low level access to any part of EISCAT_3D is not permitted, so we cannot offer
the co-development phase that I had hoped for.
We are still looking for ways to cooperate more within the new rules. If you
have any ideas or suggestions please take them up with Harri at the EISCAT
symposium next month.
Have a good summer,
Simon

The Department of Physics at Umeå University is offering a postdoctoral
scholarship in modelling plasma stellar wind interactions with exoplanets.
The scholarship is full-time for two years and the start date is 1
September, 2022 or by agreement.
The aim of our project is to advance our current understanding on the
plasma interactions with planetary bodies of different sizes and
characteristics (magnetized and unmagnetized, with and without a
substantial atmosphere and ionosphere). Our focus will be on the kinetic
processes that govern the interaction with these bodies and our primary
focus will be on the atmospheric evolution using Amitis, a
high-performance hybrid-kinetic plasma model.
Last day to apply is 15 June 2022.
For more information, please contact Dr. Shahab Fatemi
(shahab.fatemi(a)umu.se) or Dr. Maria Hamrin (hamrin(a)space.umu.se)
