The Space Research Institute in Graz invites applications for a position as
Principal Researcher (f/m/x) in Space Plasma Physics
(Full-time employee)
(Office)
IWF has a long-standing track record in space plasma physics research in the Solar system covering near Earth, planets and small bodies and interplanetary space. The IWF is participating in more than ten ongoing and adapted future Solar System missions of ESA/NASA/JAXA/CAS as major contributors in form of instrument (co)leads or working group chairs. We are involved in two M7 mission concepts, incl. Plasma Observatory, and explore possible contributions to ESA’s L4 mission to the icy moons in the outer solar system.
The institute invites applications for the position of a Principal Researcher (or a Distinguished Researcher according to the ÖAW’s career development plan) to lead the Space Plasma Physics Group as Junior Group Leader (or Group Leader). They will lead the IWF’s space plasma mission activities, develop and expand the Space Plasma Physics Group into new forefront research directions (for example, high-energy particle environments) that support and strengthen the IWF’s core research pillars: diversity of planets and planetary systems, uniqueness of Earth, and responsibility for earth and our space environment. The research group is a mix of permanent and non-permanent staff, and close links to other IWF research groups exists and need to be fostered. The IWF actively implements ML/AI as new technology tool across all its research groups.
