DTU Tenure Track Researcher in Space Physics - DTU Space

Job description

DTU Space offers an opportunity for a talented researcher to establish an independent research career in space science and contribute to advancing our understanding of the interaction between Earth's upper atmosphere and near-Earth space. The successful candidate will conduct research in ionospheric electrodynamics, with emphasis on processes governing magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling at high latitudes. The position is located at DTU Space in the Division of Geomagnetism and Geospace, an internationally recognized research environment with strong expertise in space physics, geomagnetism, and data analysis. Responsibilities and qualifications: Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department's expertise in observation-based modelling of ionospheric electrodynamics. This will involve designing and developing methods that combine theoretical models with observations to map electromagnetic fields in the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on fields associated with high-latitude magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Measurements from ground magnetometers and from satellite missions like Swarm and EZIE will be particularly relevant. You will publish your research in peer-reviewed j...
