Fellowships

  • If you are considering applying for a fellowship in the Space and Astrophysical Plasmas group, see here for more information, and get in touch with David Burgess, Enrico Camporeale, Christopher Chen, or Heli Hietala. Note that for some of the fellowships there are internal deadlines well in advance of those of the awarding body, so please get in touch early (i.e., at least a couple of months).

Postdoc Positions

  • Role of plasma turbulence in heliophysics, astrophysics, space weather, and lab experiments
    Application deadline: 20th April 2025 (late applications will not be considered)
    Contact: Christopher Chen
    Application link and more information: https://qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/appcentre-ext/brand-4/candidate/so/pm/1/pl/3/opp/5323-Postdoctoral-Research-Associate/en-GB
    Description: A postdoc position is available in Dr Christopher Chen’s research team at Queen Mary University of London. The team covers a range of topics in space, astrophysical, and plasma physics - from fundamental plasma processes and the role that they play across different systems, to applications in space weather modelling and forecasting, and uses a range of approaches - spacecraft observations, numerical simulations, plasma theory, and lab plasma experiments. We are looking for a researcher, whose expertise would complement the current team, to work on Dr Chen’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF) project “Exploring New Regions of Space: Fundamentals and Impacts of Astrophysical Plasma Turbulence”, which aims to understand turbulence as a fundamental process in space/lab/astrophysics, the role it plays in controlling the dynamics of these systems, and modelling its effects, including space weather, in the heliosphere and more distant astrophysical plasmas. Therefore, we encourage applications from candidates with expertise in any of these areas and interest in getting involved in the others. This is a collaborative project, involving interlinking (and flexible) sub-projects, and international collaborations. The FLF programme also offers extensive dedicated career support for all team members.
