Job Advertisement: Closing Date 20th June 2017
The Space and Atmospheric Physics Group are seeking a Research Assistant/
Associate to perform, analyse and interpret high performance computer
simulations related to the magnetosphere and radiation belts. The aim of
the work is to model the behaviour of the radiation belts during extreme
space weather events. The work will involve using a variety of computer
simulation codes developed in the plasma physics group at Imperial College
together with high performance computing services including Imperial's CX1
system and the NERC ARCHER system. The work will be performed in the context
of a new NERC-funded consortium led by the British Antarctic Survey (Rad-Sat)
whose goal is to model the acceleration, transport and loss of radiation
belt electrons to protect satellites from space weather. Working with Dr.
Jonathan Eastwood and based in the space and atmospheric physics group, the
post holder will work closely with Prof. Jerry Chittenden and the plasma
physics group in the further development of the simulation codes. Further
information about the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group and the Plasma
Physics Group can be found at www.imperial.ac.uk and
www.imperial.ac.uk/plasma-physics.
The position is a full-time fixed term appointment for 24 months. The
application deadline is 20 June 2017. For further information about desired
skills and experience, and to apply for the post go to:
