The Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group has openings for two Research Fellows to work in the field of solar or magnetospheric physics. Funded by an STFC Consolidated Grant, this project will mainly be in collaboration with Profs I De Moortel, A Hood, D Mackay, T Neukirch and C Parnell and Drs V Archontis and A Wright. Preference will be given to applicants with interests in (i) coronal heating and (ii) global magnetic field modelling, but we encourage applications by candidates from all areas of solar and magnetospheric physics. 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 24 months. The start date will be 1 March 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
