A fully funded PhD studentship for a UK/EU student is available in the Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group at the University of St Andrews. Applications from outstanding non-EU students will also be considered.
The project will focus on coronal heating and/or MHD waves and will be using a combination of numerical modelling and observational data analysis. The primary supervisor for the project will be Prof Ineke De Moortel.
The studentship is expected to start in September 2015 and has funding for 3 – 3.5 years (including fees and an annual stipend).
Applicants should hold a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject.
