Fixed Term Contract from 1 April 2013 until 31 March 2015 (with the possibility for further extension).

The Centre for Fusion, Space & Astrophysics at the University of Warwick is seeking two ambitious post-doctoral researchers to work within the project “Magnetohydrodynamic wave diagnostics of the solar atmosphere in the era of transformative high-resolution observations”. The positions are funded by an ERC Advanced Grant held by Valery Nakariakov. The project comprises of the analysis of data obtained with space-borne telescopes including SDO, Hinode, STEREO and RHESSI, and future missions, and ground-based observational facilities, and analytical and numerical modelling of these phenomena, including high-performance MHD and plasma simulations, and plasma diagnostics.

You must hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD in a relevant discipline. Experiences in solar data analysis, MHD wave theory and plasma physics will be a strong advantage.

The positions are available from April 2013, initially for two years.

Informal enquiries: Professor Valery Nakariakov (V.Nakariakov@warwick.ac.uk).
