Assistant Research Fellow - Plasma Physics - 2500577

__________

DIVISION OF SCIENCES
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The Physics Department at the University of Otago was the first Physics Department established in New Zealand, and physics was a foundation discipline when the University opened in 1871.

Today, the Department embraces innovative teaching methods, promotes a vigorous research ethos, and is committed both to Physics as a discipline and to its applications. Our key objectives are to provide students with the highest quality education, and to produce research of international excellence.

The role/Te mahi

We are looking for an Assistant Research Fellow to assist in theoretical research to understand the dynamics of solar coronal heating through turbulence.

The overarching goal of the project is to better understand the promise of the recently discovered 'helicity barrier' mechanism in explaining coronal heating through turbulence.

The research will involve developing, running, and analysing numerical simulations of strongly magnetised plasma turbulence with a helicity barrier, as well as the development of theories and phenomenologies that provide frameworks for understanding numerical results.

Other possible research avenues include extensions to understand the relevance of the helicity barrier in other plasma contexts (e.g. experiments), the development of reduced models for simulating kinetic turbulence, and analysis of in-situ data from spacecraft.

Minimum Requirements

Applicants should have a Bachelor Degree minimum and a research qualification preferable. Research experience in plasma physics or a related discipline, with strengths in theory and computation, is required.

Successful candidates will be highly motivated and have excellent interpersonal communication skills.

This is a full-time (1 FTE), fixed-term position for two years, located in Dunedin.

The salary for an Assistant Research Fellow at level 10 is $81,280 per annum.

The University of Otago is a workplace that values and utilises diverse and inclusive thinking, people and behaviours. This means that we honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and that the contributions of staff with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives are valued and respected.

Application/Tono

Candidates are requested to submit the following:

  1. A CV
  2. A Cover Letter
  3. Names and email addresses of at least three referees

To submit your application please click the apply button. Applications quoting reference number 2500577 will close on Tuesday, 22nd April 2025.
