**2096722WF**
You will join our collaborative team in the area of ionospheric/auroral physics, in the Space Environment Physics group at the University of Southampton. You will work on a project studying the fine-scale structure and electrodynamics of the Earth's aurora, turbulent auroral processes, and the substorm onset instability. You will use data from the new state-of-the-art European Incoherent Scatter phased array radar (EISCAT_3D) together with a new high-resolution multi-wavelength auroral imager located near the EISCAT_3D transmitter site in northern Norway. The position is funded by a recently-awarded NERC "Highlight Topic" grant led by the University of Leicester and involving 9 UK institutes, including Southampton. This post will involve particularly close collaboration with Northumbria University and the British Antarctic Survey. It is a 3-year fixed-term position until 10th April 2026 due to funding requirements.
The Space Environment Physics group forms part of the Astronomy group at Southampton. The two groups have wide-ranging international collaborations involving large ground-based facilities (e.g. EISCAT, SuperDARN, LSST, 4MOST) and space missions (Cluster, MMS, THEMIS, INTEGRAL, NuStar, Astrosat). The Space Environment Physics group has state-of-the-art optical instruments situated in the Arctic, including the ASK (Auroral Structure and Kinetics) multi-wavelength imager and HiTIES (High-Throughput Imaging Echelle Spectrograph), which are used in conjunction with both radar and satellite observations to study magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions from the global scale down to the physics of small-scale auroral processes. We are part of the School of Physics & Astronomy; 100% of the school’s research was rated world leading or internationally excellent for its impact on society in the last Research Assessment Framework, and the University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities and the top 10 of the UK’s research-intensive universities.
To be successful you will have a PhD* or equivalent professional qualifications in Space Plasma Physics or a related field and demonstrate the ability to conduct original research as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications.
As a school, we are committed to all of our staff achieving a healthy work-life balance, with flexible working hours and onsite childcare facilities. Committed to tackling gender inequality, we are Athena SWAN silver award recognised. We are particularly determined to address the under-representation of women in Physics and Astronomy, so we are delighted to have been awarded Project Juno Champion status. With a generous benefits package that includes a contributory pension scheme, competitive holiday allowance, subsidised health and fitness facilities, a cycle-to-work scheme and a range of discounts, this is a place where you are sure to excel.
