SMILE! Snapshots of Earth’s auroras from space
Three Key Points. Exploit auroral observations from ESA’s new SMILE spacecraft mission. Understand the relationship between Earth’s auroras and electrical currents in space. Read more
A new view of the ionosphere of Uranus (STFC25/ EE/MPEE/MELIN)
Uranus is strange planet. It rotates on its side, producing extreme seasons and has a magnetic field that is heavily tilted. Located in the outer reaches of the Solar System, far from the Sun, it is a vibrant and unique system, and it remains poorly understood. Read more
CR2025_42: The Cause-mic Universe: Tracing Links between Solar Flare Variability (Quasi-Periodic Pulsations) and Earth’s Ionosphere with Causality
Solar flares are outbursts of radiation across the electromagnetic waveband produced by the Sun impacting us here on Earth. Read more
Signatures and dynamics of substorms in the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system
The substorm is a key component of magnetospheric and ionospheric dynamics, with impacts that include a rapid enhancement in the nightside aurora, magnetic disturbances on the ground, enhancements in the ring current and radiation belts and heating of plasma further out in the magnetosphere.

CR2025_04: Understanding the mechanisms linking the solar wind and terrestrial lightning
Evidence is mounting that variations in the space weather environment (controlled by the sun) can affect processes in Earth’s lower atmosphere. It… Read more
Drivers of the upper atmosphere (CENTA 2025-B31)
The thermosphere is a region of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, spanning altitudes between approximately 80 km and 500 km. Read more
Modelling the upper atmospheres of brown dwarfs and exoplanets
Three Key Points. The magnetic field is a fundamental property of a cosmic body, and the recent discovery of powerful aurora-like emissions from very cool stars and brown dwarfs promises a new window into understanding these objects and exoplanets. Read more
Propagation of RF/microwave signals in plasma
The project will contribute to a major research initiative intended to develop generation after next technologies in applied electromagnetics. Read more
Jupiter’s fiery aurora – how heat is driven into the atmosphere (RDF25/EE/MPEE/STALLARD)
Our understanding of Jupiter’s aurora is radically changing, as we try to understand a wealth of new observations, from ground-based telescopes, from the Juno mission and most recently, from the James Webb Telescope. Read more
Advancing Satellite Operations in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)
The Space Environment and Radio Engineering Network (SERENE) at the University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD position focused on exploring and understanding the complex environment of Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). Read more
Understanding ionospheric dynamics with machine learning
Project overview. The Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) system is driven by its interaction with the solar wind through a coupling process called “reconnection”. Read more
Space Weather Priming: the missing link in prediction
Project overview. This project will answer the question. do the impacts of solar storms depend on previous space weather activity? Decades of data from powerful, advanced radars will be used to study how our space environment responds at different temporal and spatial scales to space weather storms. . Read more
Study of ionospheric propagation disturbances
The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project, which includes a studentship covering Home tuition fees, access to a training budget, and a stipend at the UKRI rate. Read more
