The Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group has openings for two Research Fellows to work in the field of solar or magnetospheric physics. Funded by an STFC Consolidated Grant, this project will mainly be in collaboration with Profs I De Moortel, A Hood, D Mackay, T Neukirch and C Parnell and Drs V Archontis and A Wright. Preference will be given to applicants with interests in (i) coronal heating and (ii) global magnetic field modelling, but we encourage applications by candidates from all areas of solar and magnetospheric physics. You should have completed or expect to obtain shortly a PhD in either solar physics or magnetospheric physics or a closely related subject.
This post is initially for a term of 24 months. The start date will be 1 March 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Informal enquiries to Prof Thomas Neukirch, email: tn3@st-andrews.ac.uk, Prof Ineke De Moortel, email: ineke.demoortel@st-andrews.ac.uk , or Prof Duncan Mackay, email: dhm@st-andrews.ac.uk

Company
The School aims to carry out world-leading curiosity-driven research which both pushes the boundaries of fundamental science and is of high impact, with national and global benefit. Its research is internationally known in each of its three strategic research themes: photonics, condensed matter physics and astronomy. Much of the research is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, including activities in functional materials, biophysics and exoplanetary science. In the most recent national assessment of research excellence, REF 2014, the School was ranked third in the UK (in a joint submission with the University of Edinburgh) for research quality in physics and astronomy.
