PhD Studentship in Solar Physics at Queen Mary University of London
Applications are invited for fully-funded PhD studentships at the Astronomy
Unit, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
The Astronomy Unit conducts research over a broad range of astronomy and
astrophysics from solar system to large scale Universe. With major
involvement in international projects, modern high performance computing
facilities and a lively research community, we offer an outstanding
environment in which to study for a research degree.
In the Astronomy Unit, there are groups working in Cosmology, Gravitation
& Relativity; Formation and Dynamics of Planetary Systems; Solar and Stellar
Physics; Space and Astrophysical Plasmas; and Survey Astronomy. For further
details how to apply in all fields of research see: http://astro.qmul.ac.uk/ and
http://astro.qmul.ac.uk/phd/how-apply
Specific projects being offered in the Solar Physics area are:
Solar coronal heating problem; Studies of various wave modes in inhomogeneous
space plasmas and collisionless magnetic reconnection; solar flares;
particle acceleration by dispersive Alfven waves in the transversely
inhomogeneous plasma in the context of solar flares and magnetospheric
physics, using particle-in-cell numerical simulation; theoretical modelling
of radio emission from solar flare electrons and forthcoming radio data analysis
of Type III solar radio bursts from Chilbolton LOFAR Station http://www.lofar-uk.org/
If interested in the above exciting or similar projects do apply via
http://www.qmul.ac.uk/qmul/courses/courses.php?dept_id=16&pgcourses=2&course_id=685&course_level=1&article_id=278
