SO/PHI Postdoctoral Positions

on SO/PHI data reduction and exploitation

The solar department at the MPS is the PI institute of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter (SO/PHI) and provides outstanding opportunities for data analysis and calibration activities, as well as related theoretical and numerical work. SO/PHI provides unique opportunities for new science, with solar observations taken from outside the Sun-Earth line, and is now in the early science phase with novel data being accessible for the first time. The research fields covered by the team already include the solar magnetic field, physics of the photosphere, solar activity, solar coronal heating, as well as wave physics, helioseismology, and solar variability.

Your Tasks
- Support the PHI team in the preparation of observations for science exploitation.
- Pursue research related to the current research of the department with prime focus on topics to be addressed with the SO/PHI instrument. New science topics focused on SO/PHI opportunities but not yet present in our team’s expertise are also warmly welcomed.
- Support the SO/PHI operations planning.

You should have
- PhD (or soon to be expected PhD) in solar physics or a closely related field.
- An outstanding research record.
- Relevant experience in one or more of solar observations, data analysis, reduction of spectropolarimetric or similar observations, optical solar instrumentation.

Employment Conditions

**We offer**:

- The possibility of working with one of the leading and most innovative solar missions, with primary access to observation planning, data reduction, and scientific exploitation of the only existing solar magnetograph flying close to the sun and leaving the ecliptic.
- Remuneration according to grade E13 of the TVöD pay scale of the German civil services ().
- Social security benefits in accordance with the regulations of the civil services.
- The possibility to work with leading scientists in the vibrant environment of a world-leading group, in the historic and charming University town of Göttingen.
- A family-friendly work environment with the possibility of flexible working arrangements (e.g., mobile work). MPS also has its own kindergarten available for employees, located within the premises of the Institute.
- Free access to excellent computing facilities (HPC).
- Individual travel budgets for conferences, etc.
- The possibility to supervise PhD students.
- Initial duration of two years, with the possibility of an extension.
