Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE), Nagoya University is seeking a highly motivated postdoctal researcher with a strong background of magnetospheric physics, and data analysis. The successful candidate will work in a research for understanding dynamics of the inner magnetosphere through comparative studies between data analysis of Arase and ground instruments and the inner magnetosphere kinetic model RAM-SCB.
We now extend the deadline and the new deadline is June 28.

Summary
Project for study of dynamical variation of Particles and Waves in the INner magnetosphere using Ground-based network observations (PI: Prof. K. Shiokawa, Nagoya University, http://www.isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp) is a nation-wide research collaboration supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from MEXT/Japan. PWING aims to contribute to understanding the mechanisms of the dynamical variation in the inner magnetosphere, which can be evaluated quantitatively combining the network-based observation on the earth, direct in situ observation
of the magnetosphere by Arase satellite, and numerical modeling.
Successful candidates will work with Prof. Miyoshi at ISEE, Nagoya University under PWING. The successful candidates are required to analyze Arase satellite data and ground-based observations to compare them with outputs from the inner magnetosphere kinetic model RAM-SCB (Ring current Atmosphere interactions Model with Self Consistent magnetic field) developed as part of the SHIELDS project (PI: Dr. V. Jordanova, Los Alamos National Laboratory, https://www.lanl.gov/projects/) in order to improve the understanding of inner magnetosphere dynamics.
