Applications are invited for a Research and Innovation Associate at DAMTP, University of Cambridge, to work with Prof. Giulio Del Zanna on producing advanced atomic models for the Solar Atmospheric Modeling Suite (SAMS) project.

SAMS is a next-generation, modular simulation framework for the solar atmosphere, tackling the chromosphere/corona problem. SAMS is being designed to incorporate world-leading physics capabilities and enable time-dependent, non-LTE radiative transfer magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The framework will be released as open-source software, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, flexibility, scalability, and scientific rigor.

Funded by STFC for five years, SAMS brings together researchers from the Universities of Exeter, Warwick, Cambridge, and Sheffield. The codes will enable the full exploitation of next-generation observations using Exascale computing, i.e. leading the research in solar/stellar physics for many years to come.
