Current Vacancies:
- Research Fellow in Space Plasma Physics
We seek to appoint a Research Fellow to undertake research in the general area of magnetospheric physics but with emphasis on the magnetospheric substorm. This project is expected to utilise state-of-the-art data from the ESA Cluster and NASA THEMIS, Van Allen Probes and MMS missions, along with data from ground-based observatories and auroral observations.
The post holder will join the Space Plasma Physics Group at MSSL and be expected to make use of relevant data from current or previous missions including the ongoing Cluster mission.The appointee will be expected and encouraged to participate in wider group scientific activities along with communicate research through the publications of peer-reviewed journal articles and participation of relevant conferences and workshops.
The post is available until 31st March 2022 with a possible extension subject to funding availability through the Solar System Research Consolidated Grant from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), or through additional national or international funding sources.
