The Solar and Heliospheric Research Group at the University of Arizona in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher who will work with Professor Kristopher Klein on combining theory with the analysis of in situ solar wind observations as a means of characterizing the plasma processes that occur in the heliosphere and in space and astrophysical plasmas more generally. In addition to currently available solar wind observatory data, we will be working with measurements from the soon-to-launch Parker Solar Probe to gain a better understanding of how the solar wind is heated and accelerated in the near-Sun environment.
Applicants should have a recent PhD in physics, ideally with a focus in plasma, space, or solar physics.
Applications for the position, a Postdoctoral Research Associate I with listing number P20504, should be submitted to:
