A fixed-term postdoctoral research position tenable at the Armagh Observatory is available from 2013 January 1 or as soon as possible thereafter for an initial period of 3 months to work with Professor J. Gerry Doyle. Fixed-term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be extended subject to availability of funding.

Candidates must have expertise in solar physics, in particular the interpretation and/or modelling of small-scale solar transient features. Expertise in the use of data from different instruments and in particular their co-alignment is essential. The research will involve looking closely at various assumptions relating to spectral line formation in the interpretation of the observational data. Full details of the position and the selection criteria are in the Job Information pack available from the Armagh Observatory web-site, http://star.arm.ac.uk/.
