The Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group has an opening for a Research Fellow to work in the field of solar or magnetospheric physics.

Funded by an STFC Consolidated Grant, this project will mainly be in collaboration with Professors I De Moortel, A Hood, D Mackay, T Neukirch and C Parnell and Doctors V Archontis and A Wright.

Applications are sought from all areas of solar and magnetospheric physics.  However, preference may be given to applicants with interests in (i) coronal heating and (ii) coronal magnetic field modelling. 

You should have completed or expect to obtain shortly a PhD in either solar physics or magnetospheric physics or a closely related subject. 

This post is initially for a term of 18 months.  

The start date will be 1 October 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
