Applications are invited for two 2-year positions as Postdoctoral
Research Associate in Space Physics at Northumbria University in
Newcastle upon Tyne.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you will investigate
cross-scale energy transfer and dissipation and particle energization in
collisionless turbulent plasmas, focusing on the role of plasma
turbulence, magnetic reconnection, kinetic physics and instabilities,
and wave-particle interactions.

Two different categories of profiles will be considered: one with
knowledge/expertise in supercomputing and state-of-the-art numerical
modelling (Hall-MHD, hybrid, and/or fully kinetic simulations), and one
with knowledge/expertise in the analysis and interpretation of in-situ
observations by spacecraft missions (e.g., Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar
Probe, Magnetospheric MultiScale, and/or Interstellar Mapping and
Acceleration Probe).

Both postdoctoral positions are available to commence as soon as
possible.

However, we recognise that candidates may have varying transition
timelines, so the specific start date is flexible and will be mutually
agreed upon with shortlisted applicants during the interview stage.

The Solar and Space Physics research group, within Northumbria’s
School of Engineering, Physics and Mathematics, is a strong, diverse,
inclusive, and very supportive group.

Prospective applicants are welcome to contact the project's PI Dr Luca
Franci (luca....@northumria.ac.uk) for informal enquiries and to
discuss scientific opportunities.

Apply before 13 April 2026 (11:59 PM) and find out more details here:

Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested.

Best wishes,

Luca Franci (He/Him)
