The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) invites applications for one postdoctoral position in Solar Physics within the project “Space Solar Physics and Space Weather.”
The successful candidate will conduct observational studies of the solar atmosphere, from the photosphere to the corona, primarily using data from Solar Orbiter and/or Sunrise III, with the possibility of combining these with other space- and ground-based observations.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Astrophysics or Physics by the application deadline.
Further details and application instructions are available here: https://www.iac.es/en/employment/iac-postdoctoral-fellowship-solar-espacial-2026
Application deadline: April 15, 2026
Expected start date: First half of 2026 (with some flexibility).
The IAC is an internationally recognized center of excellence in astrophysics located in La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands), next to the island’s capital. It operates the world-class Canary Islands Observatories, one of the premier astronomical sites in the Northern Hemisphere, and hosts a large, internationally active research community.
Tenerife offers a mild year-round climate, remarkable natural surroundings, and an international scientific environment, together with direct access to leading ground-based facilities and major space missions.
