The IAC (Tenerife) invites applications for two postdoctoral contracts to work on the project linked to the line of research “Solar and stellar magnetism”. The contract is funded by the project “Solar atmosphere dynamics: connectivity energy transfer, and diagnostics (SOLAR-CONNECTED)” (PID2024-156538NB-I00), led by Dr. Iñigo Arregui and Dr. Sergio Javier González Manrique.

The successful candidate will pursue research in one or several of the following fields:

* Observational studies of the solar atmosphere using data from ground-based, space-borne, and balloon-borne solar telescopes.

* Analysis of high-resolution imaging, spectroscopic, and spectropolarimetric observations to investigate plasma dynamics, wave phenomena, and magnetic field diagnostics.

* Theoretical and numerical studies of oscillatory phenomena and wave modes in magnetized solar plasmas, including their propagation and energy transport.

* Application of advanced data-analysis techniques, including statistical, Bayesian and machine-learning methods, for the interpretation of complex solar spectral profiles and coronal seismology.

Duration: The contract will be of indefinite duration. It is estimated that the date of commencement will be during the first half of 2026. The current funding horizon for the project ends on 31 of August 2029, although there are enough funds for 22 months for each contract.

Application deadline: April 15, 2026
