PhD Studentship @ BAS - The Variability of the Earth's electron radiation belt

Hi everyone,

 

Hope you don’t mind, but would it be possible to circulate to any relevant contacts you have please.

PhD Studentship – The variability of the Earth’s electron radiation belt

Supervisors: Prof. Richard Horne (Lead Supervisor) (BAS), Dr Giulio Del Zanna (University of Cambridge), Dr Sarah Glauert (BAS)

Closing date for applications extended to 30th April 2020

The Earth’s electron radiation belts consist of high energy (relativistic) electrons which are trapped by the Earth’s external magnetic field and which circulate around the Earth.  The electron flux is highly variable and causes damage to electronic components on satellites via charging and discharges.  Applications are invited for an exciting PhD studentship research project to study the variability of the Earth’s outer radiation belt, and to increase the forecasting accuracy of current prediction codes.

 

Many thanks

Ali
