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.

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!
