\nof the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences<\/a> invites applications for a
\nPost-doctoral researcher position to work on processing and analyzing
\nadvanced low-frequency radio imaging observations of solar coronal
\nshocks and coronal mass ejections from the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)
\nand Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) low-frequency telescopes.<\/p>\n
\nThe postdoctoral researcher will join Dr. Kamen Kozarev and his research
\ngroup to study the dynamic features of solar eruptions and
\ntime-dependent spectra of energetic electron beams in the corona. The
\nresearcher will help develop and employ processing pipelines for solar
\ninterferometric observations. These data can reveal the locations of
\ncharged particle acceleration with great spatial, temporal and frequency
\nresolutions. While such observations have traditionally been
\nchallenging, new advanced approaches, together with improved computing
\ntechnology and software, have made them more accessible for routine
\ninvestigation of solar activity. Available synergistic EUV and in situ
\ndata (from Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter) will also be analyzed.<\/p>\n
\nwith a focus in radio astronomy, heliophysics, or a closely related
\nfield. Previous experience in scientific programming in Python, CASA or
\nsimilar, Linux\/Unix environments, version control (svn, git), and work
\non building processing pipelines will be considered an advantage. The
\nfull-time position is available starting on May 1st 2021, or soon
\nthereafter. A very competitive salary and ample conference travel funds
\nare offered.<\/p>\n
\n–\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Interested candidates should contact Dr. Kamen Kozarev
\n(kkozarev@astro.bas.bg<\/a>), arrange for three letters of recommendation to
\nbe sent to him, and provide a cover letter describing their experience
\nand interests, as well as a curriculum vitae including a list of
\nrelevant publications.<\/p>\n

\nproject\u2019s high level objectives are to (i) develop and integrate novel
\nimage processing and machine learning techniques to reliably analyze
\nradio and EUV remote imaging observations of CMEs and their shocks; (ii)
\ninvestigate the origins and evolution of radio emission from energetic
\nelectron beams in CMEs, comparing with in situ measurements; (iii)
\ndevelop and apply advanced global data-driven models of particle
\nacceleration and transport to test and improve our theoretical
\nunderstanding of SEP production and transport. This postdoctoral
\nposition will focus on the second objective.<\/p>\n

\nmaintaining the National Observatory Rozhen – a dedicated facility in
\nthe Rhodopi mountains with a flagship 2-meter reflective optical
\ntelescope, as well as a number of smaller research-grade telescopes.
