PhD position at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF):

Atmospheric impacts of satellite re-entries

The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), in collaboration with Stockholm University (MISU), is recruiting a PhD student to study how spacecraft re-entries affect Earth’s atmosphere.

As satellite numbers increase, re-entries deposit material into the atmosphere – but the altitude, particle size, and long-term effects remain uncertain. This project combines radar and optical observations (e.g. EISCAT, EISCAT_3D, ALIS_4D) with atmospheric modelling (e.g. WACCM) to quantify these impacts.

The position is part of the Swedish National Graduate School of Space Technology (SSRS), with research conducted jointly in Kiruna and Stockholm.

📍 Location: Kiruna & Stockholm
📅 Start: September 2026
⏰ Deadline: 20 May 2026
