Postdoctoral Position in Solar Magnetohydrodynamics at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Spain)

The Solar Physics Group at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Mallorca, Spain) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position for one and a half year.

The successful applicant is expected to pursue research related with the Dynamics and Seismology of Solar Coronal Structures. The current research topics in which the Solar Physics Group is involved are: MHD waves in coronal loops and solar prominences, Instabilities in solar prominences, MHD waves and instabilities in multifluids, etc. To develop these studies the group owns several computational facilities.

The Solar Physics Group develops its activities at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) Campus which is located in the country-side close (7,5 km) to Palma de Mallorca town.

Applicants must hold a Ph. D. in Solar Physics or closely related field. The candidate should have a good knowledge of analytical and numerical MHD, and experience in MHD numerical simulations and in observational data processing.

Gross Salary will be in the range 37000-45000 euros per year depending upon qualifications.

Review of the applications will start as soon as the first application arrives and continue until the position will be filled.

Applications, including a CV, research interests, list of publications, and the names of three referees should be sent to José Luis Ballester (joseluis.ballester@uib.es)
