Attention: Prof. J.G. Doyle

Applications are invited for a 3 year postdoctoral fellowship in Atomic Physics to be held at Armagh Observatory beginning October 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter. The PDRA's work activities will be directed towards the calculation of various atomic processes, such as density dependent ionisation, non-Maxwellian velocity distributions, etc. Such data is relevant to the interpretation and modelling of various solar transient features. The candidate will have full access to the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure (ADAS) routines. Part of the project will involve the PDRA working closely with the solar physics PDRA those task is to use these data in the interpretation of high spectral, spatial and temporal resolution data from a range of space and ground-based facilities.

Further information about Armagh Observatory, and in particular the current research programme, may be obtained by consulting the Observatory's web-site or via email to Gerry Doyle (jgdarm.ac.uk). This post is funded by a grant from the UK STFC. The closing date for applications is 30 June 2008. Late applications will be considered until the position is filled.

Armagh Observatory have an excellent in-house computing facility plus access to super-computing facilities via the Irish Grid. Prospective applicants should obtain an application pack from the Administrator or it may be downloaded from this link in PDF format. The completed application form, together with a full curriculum vitae and bibliography should be sent to: The Administrator, Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, N. Ireland (Tel: +44-(0)28-3752-2928; FAX: +44-(0)28-3752-7174; e-mail: lfyarm.ac.uk). References from at least two referees should be sent to the Administrator to arrive by the initial closing date or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Armagh Observatory is an equal opportunities employer.
