Description: Up to two positions are available to work in Dr Christopher Chen’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF) team on the research programme “Exploring New Regions of Space: Fundamentals and Impacts of Astrophysical Plasma Turbulence”. The research involves spacecraft data analysis, space weather research, theory & simulation, and lab plasma experiments, so applicants with expertise in any of these areas (and interest in getting involved in the others) are encouraged, although we are particularly interested in applicants with space weather or lab plasma expertise. The research aims are to understand turbulence as a fundamental process in space/lab/astrophysics, the role it plays in controlling the dynamics of these systems, and modeling its effects in space weather. This is a highly collaborative team effort, involving interlinking (and flexible) sub-projects, and multiple leading international project partners in different disciplines. The FLF programme also offers extensive dedicated career support for all team members.

Application deadline: 9th July 2023 (although late applications may be considered until the position is filled)
