Research Associate (postdoctoral) to work in the MSSL Solar Physics Group

UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral scientist to undertake research in the area of solar physics, principally through analysis of Hinode and related datasets. MSSL is the UK’s largest university based space science research institution and is involved in many leading research missions (http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk).

The post holder will be expected to work with the Hinode, STEREO and SDO datasets, as well as with other space and ground-based datasets for context, and to work effectively as a member of the Solar Physics group. Future potential missions and observatories such as Solar Orbiter, KuaFu, Solar C and EST will build on the new science being pioneered by Hinode, STEREO and SDO and, in preparation for these, the successful applicant will also be expected to participate in scientific studies defining prospective MSSL involvement in them.

The post is available for a period of 18 months in the first instance from 1 September 2011. Salary will be in the range £29099 – £30870, dependent on experience.
