PhD in Solar Physics - Northumbria University
Applications are invited to study for a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at
Northumbria University, in the areas of Solar Physics,
Magnetohydrodynamics and Mathematical Modelling of Solar Phenomena.
Fully-funded studentships are available.
Magnetohydrodynamics is the study of magnetic fluids and gives a good
description of the dynamics of the Sun's atmosphere. If you are looking
for a Ph.D. that combines the areas of fluid mechanics, electromagnetism
and astronomy, then perhaps a Ph.D. in Solar Physics is for you.
Several potential projects are available, including mathematical
modelling of solar phenomena, magnetic wave propagation in inhomogeneous
media and the comparison of models with solar satellite data.
Applicants should be highly motivated and have a good Honours degree in
Applied Mathematics, Physics or a related subject. No prior knowledge of
solar physics is required.
