Hi Eduard, 

I have a job advert that could be of interest to the wider solar community and I’d really appreciate if you could post it anywhere you think might be interested. As you can see, the deadline is pretty close

Thanks, 

Heather

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Space Plasma Physics

Department of Meteorology, School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences, University of Reading

Closing date: 19/05/17

Interview date: 26/05/17

Full details:  https://jobs.reading.ac.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=818

 

We seek a post-doctoral researcher to work on a 4-year NERC-funded project investigating the nonlinear plasma physics of wave-particle interactions in Earth’s Radiation Belts. The project forms part of a large UK consortium to study the physics of Earth’s Radiation Belts and improve physics-based modelling of important wave-particle interactions. The consortium is led by the British Antarctic Survey and includes the University of Reading, Mullard Space Science Laboratory (UCL), Imperial College London and the University of Sheffield. We welcome applications from strongly-motivated individuals who wish to be part of this exciting new collaboration.

 

We seek a space plasma physicist, ideally with expertise in kinetic plasma physics. You will design and carry out numerical experiments to explore the applicability of plasma diffusion theories in Earth’s Outer Radiation Belt. We have access to state-of-the art kinetic plasma simulations, and you will be encouraged and supported to develop further tools necessary to achieve the project goals. You will liaise with scientists in the consortium to apply your new results within the BAS Radiation Belt Model.
