Research Fellows in Solar Physics
Ref. 09/100816
School of Mathematics and Physics
Queen's University of Belfast
Applications are invited for two 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
positions in Solar Physics. The posts are located within the Astrophysics
Research Centre (ARC) of the School of Mathematics and Physics.
The successful candidates will be expected to develop and support
research within the Solar Physics Group in ARC. This Group makes extensive
use of a wide range of solar satellites and ground-based telescopes, with
current activities including the study of oscillatory phenomena and
reconnection events. Recently, we have built and commissioned the
Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere (ROSA) imaging system that can
observe the solar atmosphere in as many as 6 wavelengths simultaneously,
and with a cadence of up to 200 Hz. ROSA is currently at the National
Solar Observatory in New Mexico USA. The group makes extensive use of
image reconstruction techniques for the analysis of ground-based solar
observations from ROSA and other instruments.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant subject either awarded or
submitted by the time of taking up the post. Experience in either (i) the
reduction and analysis of solar observations from satellite-borne or
ground-based instruments, or (ii) the development of theoretical models of
the solar atmosphere, is essential. Also essential is a reasonable number
of high quality publications commensurate with stage of career.
An application pack for the post, containing further details and
guidelines on how to submit your application online, is available at:
