I'm a geophysicist studying the impacts of #SpaceWeather (the cause of the northern lights) on ground-based technology, like power grids and pipelines. This means investigating variations in the Earth's magnetic field and wrtiting lots of computer code!

Anyone know any MSc or PhD graduates who are after a decently paid research job for six months? Generally literature review work but it’ll be publishable. If so, tell them to drop me a line for more details.
