The Solar Physics Group at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) encourages researchers to apply for postdoctoral contracts offered by the local government of the Balearic Islands. The successful candidate will work closely with Dr Manuel Luna on numerical simulations related to solar prominences. The final goal is to understand the triggering of large-amplitude oscillations on filaments by jets, eruptions or Moreton/EIT waves by performing time-dependent numerical simulations using a state-of-the-art code.

Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas:

1. Computational fluid dynamics
2. Astrophysical fluid dynamics
3. Solar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
4. Parallel programming
5. GPU programming

Applicants must hold a PhD at the start of the contract in solar physics, plasma physics, applied mathematics, computer science or any topic related to the post's objective.

The position is called Margalida Comas for young researchers and it is for two years with a gross salary of 35000€. They must have obtained a doctorate degree between 1 January 2020 and the closing date of the application period of this call for applications (both dates included). See additional requirements in the call for applications.

Please note the short notice as the call for applications closes on 12 December. It is recommended to contact Manuel Luna before that date. Additional information can be found at https://www.uib.cat/recerca/ajuts/beques_mobilitat/postdoc_CAIB/. The call is not in English, so if you have any doubts, please contact Manuel at the email given below. Curriculum vitae with a list of publications and a statement of research interests should be submitted to Manuel Luna (manuel.luna@uib.es)
