The European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) Scientific Association invites applications for the position of Director. This full-time, five-year position will be located in Kiruna, Sweden.
The Director will lead the operation and development of an Arctic research infrastructure and staff to serve a worldwide community of several hundred researchers. By the end of 2022 EISCAT will launch the new EISCAT_3D facility, a world-leading radar for incoherent scatter studies of the upper atmosphere that will offer exciting new measurement opportunities. The new Director will have a cross-disciplinary view and excellent communication skills to convey the scientific opportunities of this new facility to a broad research community.
The new Director will be appointed from January 2023, with the option of an early start in the Association from April 2022. The Director post is for a five-year period, but reappointment is possible for an additional five-year term through an open recruitment process. A considerable amount of international travel should be expected.
The ideal candidate should have a research background in atmospheric, geospace or space science, or a related field. Experience working with research infrastructures, managing large international projects, and engaging highly qualified expert staff would be an advantage. The Director is expected to attract new funding and to bring additional international partners into EISCAT.
Applications should include a resume and a one-page statement of the applicant’s vision for EISCAT, and should be sent by email to director2023 [at] eiscat.se.
