Specific Tasks Application of different models and software packages to analyse the effects that space environments e.g. chargedparticle radiation, plasmas, micrometeoroids space debris, atomic oxygen, geomagnetism may have on ESA missions Development, adaptation, use and interpretation of various models and tools and software development of associated graphical and other utilities Analysis data gained from inorbit measurements of environmental parameters energetic particles, micro particles, plasmas, derivation of relevant parameters to compare with existing models for validation, and improvement of the models Contribution to the design, development, testing and calibration of the equipment for inorbit measurements Contribution to the development of space weather systems, incl. system definition and reviews, model development, testing of developed methods etc Definition of required space weather hardware e.g. instrumentation and software developments Maintenance of computational infrastructure for providing space environments and effects analysis support Support of the activities of technology research and development contracts regarding the above areas, including direct interfaces with contractors, progress meetings and reviews. Specific Competence Requirements University degree in physics, aerospace engineering or another relevant discipline Experience with analyses of other aspects of the space environment and interactions with spacecraft that fall under the section area of operation plasmas, surface and internal electrostatic charging planetary atmospheres, charged dust and contamination Physics simulation techniques such as particleincell plasma simulation Design, development and operation of instrumentation for measuring the space environment, e.g. plasma monitors, magnetometers, and the associated data exploitation Experience with programming in Java and C under Unix is required. Familiarity with the SPIS spacecraft plasma interaction system would be an advantage.
