Phd Student to Work On Observational Solar Physics
vor 2 Wochen
Flares are eruptions on the Sun, which can influence the Earth by causing power outages, changes of satellite orbits, aurora, and enhanced radiation. However, solar flares can neither be reliably predicted, nor is their physics fully understood. The goal of this PhD project is to carry out research in observational solar physics, particularly by leading observations at the Swedish Solar Telescope (SST) to obtain new data of solar flares and to analyze this data to determine the structure of the solar atmosphere during flares.
The PhD student will learn about space weather, solar observations, solar data reduction, data analysis, radiative transfer, and modeling to interpret the solar atmosphere. The length of a PhD is typically 3-4 years. Support for conferences and collaborations is available.
Requirements
- A strong interest in experimental work is desired, particularly in operating a telescope, analyzing astronomical data, and in programming.
- A background in programming in Python or IDL is desired.
- At least a basic knowledge of astronomy is required and knowledge of astronomical data analysis is beneficial.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
- Strong analytical abilities and problem solving/troubleshooting skills.
- Teamplayer who likes to work with other group members and students.
Appointment
Starting in spring 2025, open until filled. Funding for maximally 4 years.
Application
- CV
- motivation letter **for this specific PhD position**:
- a copy of BSc and MSc transcripts of courses and grades (scans of official transcripts are sufficient)
**by the referees** to L. Kleint.
