PhD Position in Exploring Planetary Magnetospheres

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) Astronomy & Astrophysics Section invites applications for a PhD position in the Planetary Magnetospheres Group. The successful candidate will work on improving spacecraft observation analysis methods to maximise the scientific outcome of missions focused on planetary magnetospheres and habitable moons.

The research will focus on the recently launched Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission, studying the space environment of Jupiter, with a special focus on Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The PhD student will analyse and simulate JUICE space environment observations near the Earth, the Moon, and in the solar wind.

The focus will be on expanding our understanding of how the interaction between a spacecraft and its environment can impact space environment observations. The successful PhD applicant will support the particle and field instrument teams by developing data correction techniques, necessary for detailed studies of Jupiter's space environment and the habitability of Jupiter's moons.

The Planetary Magnetospheres group works on various topics in the Solar System, including spacecraft charging, exploration of Jupiter's magnetosphere, and solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling at Earth. Collaboration opportunities with other Planetary Magnetospheres group members are plentiful.

Job Description:
  • Research Focus: Improving spacecraft observation analysis methods for planetary magnetospheres and habitable moons.
  • Mission Focus: Recently launched Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission.
  • Data Analysis: Analyse and simulate JUICE space environment observations.
