Leuven, Belgique KU Leuven Temps plein

You have a PhD degree in physics, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, or an equivalent degree with an important mathematics component.You have experience in performing analytical calculations for (fluid or MHD) wave modelling. You have a deep understanding of MHD waves.You have published a number of papers in academic journals. You have the ambition to build an academic career and would like to gain more experience in the field of plasma physics and MHD modelling.You will do research in fundamental plasma astrophysics and applied mathematics at the Centre of mathematical Plasma Astrophysics of the Department of Mathematics.You will give exercise classes in mathematics for the courses taught by members of the Department of Mathematics.You assist in the guidance of bachelor projects and master theses.You assist in the organization of workshops, conferences and other research and teaching activities.The Centre for mathematical Plasma Astrophysics (CmPA) of the Department of Mathematics consists of five professors and around 60 researchers (Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers) of various international background. CmPA has, among other things, an extensive expertise in modelling of magnetohydrodynamics wave phenomena, with the focus on the solar atmosphere. This position continues that line of research in the team of Prof. Tom Van Doorsselaere. The topic is the theoretical exploitation of the new Q-variables which follow the waveframe, and that are an extension of the Elsasser variables. The aim is to use the Q-variables to find analytical descriptions of linear and non-linear MHD wave phenomena. Furthermore, we will use the Q-variables to filter out wave modes in complicated plasma simulations. We offer a scholarship as a postdoc in the Section Plasma Astrophysics of the Department of Mathematics for one year. This can be extended with another year after a positive evaluation, for a total duration of two years.
