JOB OPENING: Postdoctoral position at Imperial College London, Space and Atmospheric Physics Group
================================================
Applications are invited for a Research Assistant/Associate position within the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial College London. The successful applicant will work with Dr. Jonathan Eastwood and Dr. Bob Forsyth and will contribute to activities funded by the FP7 project HELCATS (HELiospheric Cataloguing, Analysis and Techniques Service). The goal of HELCATS is to use existing heliophysics data sets to improve forecasts of coronal mass ejection arrival times at Earth. More information about HELCATS can be found at http://www.helcats-fp7.eu/index.html. In particular, the post holder will contribute to two work packages (1) assessing the complementary nature of radio measurements of solar wind transients, and (2) verifying the kinematic properties of remotely observed CMEs against in situ spacecraft observations. The post holder will also be expected to support the Department’s teaching activities up to approximately half a day per week during the academic year as appropriate.
