Requirements:

  • Doctorate in solar physics, heliospheric physics, machine learning, or related discipline
  • Experience with Linux/Unix operating systems

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with data analysis using scientific Python stack (e.g., NumPy, Matplotlib, SciPy, Astropy, SunPy)
  • Experience with preparing and analyzing solar data, particularly EUV images and magnetograms
  • Experience with developing and applying deep learning models to solar observations
  • Continuous integration and development tools (e.g., GitLab, GitHub)

Salary and Benefits:

The successful candidate will receive a competitive salary starting at Level 2A Point 1 of the public sector regulations. The appointee will also be entitled to annual leave, sick leave, and pension benefits.

Application Instructions:
