Graduate student positions in space physics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks From Hyunju Connor (hkconnor@alaska.edu) The Physics department and the Geophysical institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) are looking for multiple PhD/MS students in Space Physics. The students are expected to be involved in the simulation and data analysis of various in-situ and remote-sensing data from the space and ground observatories to study the Earth’s magnetosphere - ionosphere system and the planetary magnetospheres. Multiple research and teaching assistantships are currently available for suitable candidates. Candidates should hold a BSc or MSc in Physics, Space Physics, Astronomy or other related fields. The application deadline is Jun 1 for US citizens and as early as possible for international students in order to process a visa application on time. We encourage early submission to be considered for financial assistance. Details of graduate school application can be found at https://www.uaf.edu/physics/graduate-programs/ and https://www.uaf.edu/gradsch/prospective/. The Space Physics and Aeronomy research group at the Geophysical institute studies the Earth’s geospace environment and the magnetospheres of other planets.  Major topics investigated by the group are associated with the response of the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere to solar disturbances that reach the Earth after propagating through interplanetary space. Most significantly we study the aurora borealis, a spectacular natural phenomenon that can be observed from Fairbanks on a regular basis. Researchers in the group carry out their studies using theory and simulation, sounding rockets, analysis of satellite-based observations, and ground-based observations of magnetic fluctuations, low-frequency sound waves, light from auroral emissions and radio signals reflected from atmospheric irregularities. The group is affiliated with the UAF Physics and Electrical Engineering departments, Poker Flat Research Range, the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar, SuperDARN and HAARP.
