Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland beBeePlanetary Full time €22,000

Explore the mysteries of planetary magnetospheres and habitable moons in a PhD position that combines cutting-edge research with state-of-the-art space exploration technology.

Job Description

We invite applications for a PhD student to join our vibrant and inclusive community at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) Astronomy & Astrophysics Section. The successful candidate will be part of the Planetary Magnetospheres Group, supervised by Dr. Mika Holmberg.

The PhD research will focus on improving spacecraft observation analysis methods to maximize the scientific outcome of missions focused on the exploration of planetary magnetospheres and habitable moons, particularly the recently launched Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission.

The Astronomy & Astrophysics Section is a dynamic and collaborative environment where researchers work together on topics including:

  • Spacecraft charging and its impact on particle and field measurements, particularly in preparation for the JUICE mission.
  • The exploration of Jupiter's magnetosphere with ESA's JUICE and NASA's Juno and Galileo missions, by modeling moon-magnetosphere interactions and examining in situ fields, plasma, and energetic particles and multi-wavelength auroral emissions from X-ray, radio, and UV.
  • The study of solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling at Earth using radio data from orbiting spacecraft like Wind, ground-based magnetometer data, and upstream solar wind monitoring.

The successful PhD applicant will contribute to studies of the aurora of Jupiter's moon Ganymede and how auroral particles interact with the JUICE spacecraft. This project has far-reaching implications for understanding the interaction between a spacecraft and its environment, which is crucial for guaranteeing the health and survival of any spacecraft.

Required Skills and Qualifications

To succeed in this role, applicants should have a bachelor or master degree in physics, space physics, computer science, or a closely related field. A good command of English is also required. Advantageous experiences include but are not limited to: spacecraft plasma and fields data analysis, modeling, as well as programming in Python.

Benefits

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research, develop valuable skills, and become an integrated part of the global space plasma science and JUICE mission communities. You will also get the chance to collaborate with experts in the field and contribute to the development of new techniques and technologies.

Others

This position is funded by an SFI-IRC Pathways grant awarded to Dr. Mika Holmberg. The salary is following the PhD stipends set by the Irish government, tax free. The position is full-time work for 4 years, with a flexible start date as early as January 2025. Applicants need to submit their application through the DIAS online e-recruitment system by November 30, 2024.
