Research Fellow in Solar Magnetohydrodynamics
Fixed-term for 3 years
Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral research
position in the area of Solar Magnetohydrodynamics. The successful
candidate will conduct research relevant to understanding how stored
energy can be released from magnetised plasmas via time-dependent,
wave-generating magnetic reconnection. This position is funded by a
grant from STFC (ST/T000384/1) and the project focuses on a
comprehensive investigation into the fundamental physics of
Oscillatory Reconnection (a time-dependent, wave-generating
reconnection mechanism). You will work primarily with Professor James
McLaughlin (PI of the grant).
You will initiate, develop and conduct high-quality research in
support of the project. The project will require an understanding of
MHD wave theory, magnetic reconnection and computational MHD
(particular 3D numerical modelling using High Performance Computing).
The ideal candidate will have a good knowledge of MHD and experience
of computational MHD simulations. Experience in magnetic reconnection
and/or solar physics observations would also be beneficial.

The successful candidate will join the Solar Physics research group.
