PostDoc - Solar physics

The Max Planck Institute

Germany

Closing Date: 1st March 2014

Description

The Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in solar physics, dedicated to modelling of solar spectral irradiance variations using the output of 3D radiation MHD simulations and the observed magnetograms. The project is attractive not just from the science point of view, but also because of its relevance to global climate change.
