PhD studentship
General PhD studentship may be available at the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering (ACSE) and School of Mathematics and Statistics (SoMaS) at the University of Sheffield.
PhD studentships may be available in the following areas:
- General MHD wave theory with solar and astrophysical applications
- Numerical modelling (HPC and GPU computing) of wave processes in the solar atmosphere
- MHD wave observations and solar magneto-seismology
- Heating of the solar atmosphere: waves, reconnection, etc.
- Novel joint ground-based and satellite observations of the sun and sun-Earth system
- Analysis of ionospheric perturbations: application to climate prediction and natural hazard risk assessment
- Energy transfer mechanisms in the sun-Earth system
Successful candidates will receive knowledge in analytical and numerical modelling and analysing high-resolution observations obtained by cutting-edge ground-based instruments and space satellites.
Funding
The studentship may be supplemented by income from assistance in undergraduate tutorials.
