[Eiscat-user] JOB OPENING: PhD position on Space Weather Modeling, Umeå University, Sweden

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.
