Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Solar and Heliospheric Physics – UCLan
Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Solar and Heliospheric Physics
Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK
3 year limited term
Salary: Grade G: 27319 to 31671
Closing date: 28th May 2010
Applications are invited for a 3-year Post-Doctoral Research Associate post in Solar and Heliospheric Physics, funded by STFC, to carry out research on the acceleration and propagation of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs), working with Dr Silvia Dalla. The post holder will develop models of SEP energisation and of their interaction with turbulence in interplanetary space, and will implement numerical simulations. The project will make use of the High Performance Computing facilities at the University of Central Lancashire. Candidates should hold a PhD in a relevant subject (e.g.solar, heliospheric or solar-terrestrial physics, plasma physics, astrophysics) and preferably have experience of modelling in the heliophysics context. Skills in scientific computing in a Linux/Unix environment
are essential. The Jeremiah Horrocks Institute fosters research in solar physics and stellar and extragalactic astrophysics (see www.star.uclan.ac.uk). Informal enquiries can be directed to Dr Silvia Dalla. An application form and further details are available at www.uclan.ac.uk/jobs
