A junior postdoctoral position is available in the Space Plasma Research Lab at KU Leuven Campus Kulak, Belgium, to work on kinetic shock physics and solar energetic particles.
The project will use particle-in-cell simulations to study particle acceleration at CME-driven shocks, with links to spacecraft observations and global space-weather models. Candidates with experience in kinetic plasma simulations, high-performance computing, heliophysics, or related areas are encouraged to apply.
The position is initially for one year, renewable for a second year subject to satisfactory performance.
Deadline: 3 July 2026
