Primary career market

Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). If you are seeking to establish your career as a physicist working with polar space physics and ionospheric electrodynamics, this PhD project offers the opportunity to develop new methods for extracting information about ionospheric dynamics from ground-based magnetic measurements.

At DTU Space, you will combine observations, computational modelling, and inverse methods to improve our understanding of electric currents in the ionosphere and in the conducting Earth below. Responsibilities and qualifications Your overall focus will be to develop new computational tools for using ground magnetometer measurements to study ionospheric dynamics at polar latitudes.

You will build on the department’s established expertise in magnetic measurements and ionospheric electrodynamics, with a particular focus on improved modelling of currents induced in the conducting Earth. You will work closely with colleagues at DTU and with international partners through the ESA Swarm and NASA EZIE satellite missions1 …
