The successful candidate will explore the dynamics and energetics of solar active regions and flares through coordinated analysis of (but not limited to): • SUIT (Aditya-L1) near-ultraviolet imaging of the photosphere and chromosphere • IRIS high-resolution UV spectroscopy and imaging • SDO/AIA multi-wavelength EUV imaging • Solar Orbiter remote sensing datasets Responsibilities: • Process, calibrate, and co-align datasets from multiple space missions. • Investigate flare initiation, evolution, and energy release mechanisms. • Perform quantitative analysis linking chromospheric, transition region, and coronal diagnostics. • Publish results in leading journals and present at major conferences.
Requirements: • Ph.D. in Solar Physics, Astrophysics, or a related field. • Experience with solar observational data analysis and scientific programming (Python, IDL, or similar). • Strong background in research in solar active region or flare research will be a plus. • Ability to work in a collaborative, multi-institutional environment. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of solar astrophysics with direct access to first-of-its-kind data from India’s flagship solar mission. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Durgesh Tripathi ([email protected]) and the Solar Physics Group at IUCAA.
