We are still operating in a global pandemic and welcome applications from those who would intend to work remotely, or remotely in the first instance. The Magnetospheric Physics PDRA position is for 3 years, and the Radiation Belt PDRA position is for 12 months maternity cover. For both positions, there is potential for extension subject to funding.

Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Professor Jonathan Rae (jonathan.rae@northumbria.ac.uk) and Professor Clare Watt (clare.watt@northumbria.ac.uk) with any informal enquiries

The Solar and Space Plasma Physics Group is a large and growing group within the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering at Northumbria University. Our long-term research programme is to understand all aspects of the solar-terrestrial connection. Evidence of the group’s success includes funding from STFC, NERC, Leverhulme Trust, Royal Astronomical Society, Royal Society, the US Air Force, UKSA, and a UKRI Future Leader Fellow. The group also plays multiple roles in the UKRI SWIMMR (Space Weather Instrumentation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk) programme in support of the UK Met Office.
