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.

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.
