Radio Investigations for Space Environment Research (RISER) is a major science project funded by NERC which aims to study the origin of adverse space-weather conditions at Earth, in particular by exploiting observations from the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) - the world's largest low-frequency radio-telescope.

The LOFAR data may be highly valuable in evaluating or initialising heliospheric models. Furthermore, the approach adopted in RISER should enable continuous and accurate tracking of inner-heliospheric and ionospheric plasma structures, and, combined with magnetospheric modelling, the development of more precise and advanced forecasts of space weather conditions and their impacts at Earth. 

The overall purpose of this job position is to use LOFAR data to verify and improve Met Office space weather forecasts and to set developments produced in RISER on track for operational use at the Met Office. The Research Associate shall work in close collaboration with the Met Office.

Summary of the role:

• to conduct individual and collaborative research within this project;
• to contribute to the execution of the project;
• to use LOFAR data and other data (such as in situ solar wind observations from the Lagrange 1 point, heliospheric imager data) as an independent and comprehensive means of evaluating heliospheric forecasts run at the Met Office. 
• to demonstrate the impact of including LOFAR data on heliospheric forecasts.
• to use the results from the above work (i.e. 1 and 2), where relevant, to help improve the Met Office heliospheric forecast system. 
• to contribute to efforts to model the coupling from the heliosphere to the magnetosphere and the ionosphere and to rigorously evaluate the results. 
• to collaborate with the Met Office to ensure that any technical and scientific evaluation and testing is sufficient to support decisions on future operational implementation at the Met Office.
• to analyse data from various instruments (e.g., LOFAR, in-situ instruments) for the characterisation of the inner heliosphere;
• to disseminate project results (by means of project reports, peer-reviewed publications, conference contributions);
• to actively participate in project meetings as well as Departmental and Group meetings;
• to interface and collaborate with the with Met Office Space Weather experts, as required by the project needs.

As a member of Research Staff at the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ you

• A PhD in radio astronomy, space physics, space weather, space engineering, or any other area closely related to the project;
• familiarity with the use of space weather numerical models and / or analysis of space weather observations, or equivalent, including of the programming languages (e.g. Python) and Linux-based IT systems needed to develop and run these or similar applications at the Met Office;
• familiarity with verification / validation methods used to evaluate models and the performance of their forecasts;
• familiarity with, or demonstrated ability to learn, radio-based space weather observation techniques;
• ability to carry out research work and to disseminate results;
• ability to work in a team;
• passion and self-motivation.

The appointee will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment and to build their research profile in space weather science. They will be supported to travel to meetings and to share their research with the wider community as opportunities arise throughout the project.

The CEREBRIS project is groundbreaking project tackling one of the most pressing health challenges: neurological disease. These conditions now account for the highest share of global disability. By age 75, one in three people will be affected by a neurological condition, and one in five women will experience a stroke each year. These conditions disproportionately affect low-and-middle income countries. There is a critical need for solutions that are scalable, affordable and personalised to patients.

CEREBRIS is a European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Open 2025 project involving an innovative, data-driven approach to managing neurological diseases. It aims to develop a secure, federated and explainable ecosystem- starting with stroke care. Its AI models will be designed from multiple types of patient data- such as brain scans, motion patterns and brain signals- to help doctors understand and predict more objectively how an individual is progressing and will recover after a brain injury. Using privacy-preserving technologies, the system will allow hospitals and clinicians to work together without ever sharing raw data, ensuring trust and compliance with global regulations. 

Driven by a multidisciplinary European consortium with deep expertise in neurology, AI, neurotechnology, and clinical translation, CEREBRIS will transform the entire stroke pathway- from early diagnosis to recovery. By delivering precise diagnostics and targeted rehabilitation, CEREBRIS will significantly reduce long term disability, substantially reduce healthcare expenses, and set a new standard for brain health globally.

This is a research-intensive role, with the expectation of significant contributions to research excellence, translational medicine, and innovation. 

Working alongside Prof Michael Yang, Prof Damien Coyle and the CEREBRIS team associated with the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Institute for the Augmented Human and Centre for Spatial Intelligence, the Research Associate will develop novel artificial intelligence methods for the analysis and integration of multimodal biomedical data, as described in the CEREBRIS work plan. The research will focus on developing advanced generative and foundation AI models that learn shared representations from neuroimaging, wearable physiological signals, movement analysis and clinical data to improve the understanding, assessment and prediction of post-stroke motor function and recovery.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ you

The postholder will design, implement and evaluate state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for multimodal data fusion, representation learning and predictive modelling, including the development of scalable AI pipelines and synthetic data generation approaches. The role will also contribute to privacy-preserving and federated learning methodologies to enable secure analysis of distributed healthcare datasets and support the translation of AI technologies into clinically relevant tools for stroke prognosis and personalised rehabilitation.

The post-holder will be expected to publish the results of the research in high impact journal publications (e.g. T-PAMI, IJCV) and top-tier AI conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV). Experience of AI research (e.g. diffusion models, agentic AI), developing and applying technologies including deep learning using platforms such as Keras, Pytorch and/or experience of optimising the performance of software for high-performance computing on GPU clusters is requirement for this role.
