The successful applicant will be primarily involved in an EU H2020 Project, ARCAFF , which will combine over 26 years worth of solar observation (millions of images) with state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to enhance active region classifications and flare forecasts.
These outputs will also be integrated into SolarMonitor.org.
The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers locally and internationally on the preparation of data for and the development and training of deep learning models for flare forecasting.
Doctorate in solar physics, heliospheric physics, machine learning, or related disciplineExperience with Linux/Unix operating systemsPreferred qualifications:
Experience with data analysis using the scientific Python stack (e.g., NumPy, Matplotlib, SciPy, Astropy, SunPy).Experience with the preparation and analysis of solar data, particularly EUV images (SDO/AIA, SOHO/EIT) and magnetograms (SDO/HMI, SOHO/MDI).Experience with the development and application of deep learning models to solar observations (e.g.
PyTorch or TensorFlow).Continuous integration and development tools (e.g., GitLab, GitHub)Responsibilities:
Participate in the creation of training datasets for flare forecasting.Collaborate on the development and training of deep learning models for flare forecasting.Contribute to the integration of developed models into SolarMonitor.org.Presenting research at international conferences and writing publications.Liaising and collaborating with other ARCAFF researchers (internal and external).This position is available for up to a maximum of 1 year (12 months) starting as soon as possible (the ARCAFF project and hence contract end date is Nov 30th 2025).
