Applications are invited for the investigations of the ionosphere of Mars. The work involves working with a multi-instrumental dataset from the MAVEN mission and conducting numerical and analytical modelling with a special focus on ion chemistry.
The successful candidate will be involved in national and international collaborations and will also be expected to present their results at national and international conferences and publish their results in leading journals. Expertise in solar energy deposition- and photochemical modelling will be highly beneficial.
Candidates should have completed a PhD in space plasma physics (or within another field which the employer deems relevant to the research subject) or expect to complete within the next months. We will primarily consider candidates with a degree obtained within the last three years. If you have an older degree and want to refer to special circumstances, such as parental leave, this should be clearly stated in your application.
The candidate should not currently be an active researcher at IRF in Uppsala or in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University. Candidates should be able to start the work no later than fall 2024.
