The Institute for Theoretical Physics I of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Bochum, Germany) invites applications from candidates (m/f/d) with interest in multi-scale plasma processes (magnetic reconnection, turbulence, instabilities) in the heliospheric environment, and in innovative numerical methods for the simulation of plasmas.

The ideal candidate (m/f/d) should be very familiar with at least three of the following items:

plasma physics, space physics
numerical methods for plasma simulations: kinetic (preferentially PIC) or MHD
computer programming in Python, C and/or C++
High Performance Computing, parallel programming
solar, magnetospheric and/or solar wind data analysis (simulation and/ or observations)

The candidate (m/f/d) is expected to work well in an international environment and to participate in the teaching activities of the group.
