Research Visitor Grants in Space and Geo-Physics Research are available at the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory and Space Physics and Astronomy research unit of the University of Oulu, Finland, in the framework of the QUASARE project of the Research Council of Finland. The funding period covers Spring-Summer 2024.
The task of the project is to perform an analysis and quantification of solar energetic particles (SEPs) events, specifically ground level enhancements (GLEs) using neutron (NM) and space-borne data and assessment of their space weather and terrestrial effects. It involves data analysis, modelling and measurements in Solar, Heliospheric, Magnetospheric, and Atmospheric Physics.
We invite applications from experts with verified competence in the project-related fields, for visit lasting up to one month. The grants are typically based on a tax-free lump sum of 2000–4000 €/month proportionally to the actual duration of the visit.
The application should include:
• A brief description (max 3 pages) of intended research and its relation to the QUASARE project
• Curriculum vitae (max 2 pages)
• A list of publications
Applications and possible requests for additional information should be sent by e-mail to
