    Research Associate / Senior Research Associate Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Ionospheric Outflow at Jupiter
    •  
    •  

    • Conduct scientific research into ionospheric outflow at Jupiter; characterize the global dependence of outflow on thermospheric conditions, solar wind driving, and Jupiter’s intrinsically complex magnetic field structure.

    • Apply and develop a 1D computational model of Jupiter’s ionospheric outflow; utilise results from 3D General Circulation Models of Jupiter’s thermosphere as input for the ionospheric model; analyse and interpret model results in the context of the latest measurements and observations from the Juno mission.

    • Liaise with project partners; communicate results and progress effectively.

    • Participate in national and international meetings, conferences and workshops; present project results through posters, talks, and seminars; interact with the broader community to communicate project results learn about current advancements in the field.

    • Prepare papers for publication in high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journals.

    • Engage in training, professional development, and knowledge exchange opportunities offered by the university.

    • Collaborate effectively with other members of the SPP research group.

    • Participate and take a leading role in writing new research proposals on topics associated with this work. (Grade 7 only)

    PhD Preparing for Europa Plume Measurements with the Mass Spectrometers on ESA's JUICE and NASA's Europa Clipper Missions

    • Develop and extend existing Monte Carlo and DSMC models to simulate Europa's plumes.

    • Analyze the chemical modifications occurring within the plume's gas phase.

    • Work closely with senior geochemists and DSMC modelers to integrate new chemical reaction modules into the models.

    • Collaborate with the JUICE/NIM and Europa Clipper/MASPEX teams to optimize plume detection and maximize the scientific return of plume measurements.

    • Prepare and publish at least three scientific papers based on the research findings.

    • Present research results at international conferences and workshops.
