Research Fellow (106763-1222)

Fixed-term contract for 6 months with a start date of 31 January 2023, 1.0 FTE.

The Department of Physics seeks to appoint an STFC-funded Research Fellow in the field of helioseismology, to work at the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) at the University of Warwick, UK. The role will focus on data analysis techniques in helioseismology with an emphasis on studying the Sun’s magnetic activity cycle. You will work with Dr Anne-Marie Broomhall, and other members of CFSA.

Experience of working with helioseismic data, and specifically GONG, HMI and MDI, is highly desirable.

You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£31,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£32,348).

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

Please direct all informal inquiries to Anne-Marie Broomhall (a-m.broomhall@warwick.ac.uk).

Interview Date: TBC.
