OPEN POSITIONS: Two postdoctoral positions in global space weather modeling for BepiColombo

We seek two postdoctoral researchers to join the new European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant) funded "Mercury in the solar wind" (MEOW) project at Finnish Meteorological Institute in which we develop and apply global kinetic, particle-based simulations to study Hermean space plasma physics and BepiColombo observations.
