(1) Positions for Post-doctoral and/or Senior Researchers University of
Oulu, Finland.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>From timo.asikainen at oulu.fi.

Positions for post-doctoral and/or senior researchers are available at the
University of Oulu, Finland, within the Centre of Excellence in “Research
on Solar Long-term Variability and Effects” (ReSoLVE) of the Academy of
Finland. The first funding period covers the years 2014 – 2016, with a
possibility of extension to 2017 – 2019. All positions include a 4-month
trial period.

ReSoLVE studies the long-term (multidecadal to centennial) magnetic
evolution of the Sun, which depicts a dramatic increase in the 20th century
and a recent decline, and the related changes in the inner heliosphere and
in the near-Earth environment. Specific research topics of ReSoLVE include,
e.g., the changing structure of solar magnetic fields, solar corona, solar
wind and the heliospheric magnetic field, and the effect of this change at
the Earth, causing electromagnetic disturbances, geomagnetic activity and
geomagnetic storms, energizing magnetospheric particles, and affecting the
atmosphere.

We welcome applications from experts in any of these fields, especially in
- coronal field and solar wind modelling
- modelling of solar (both particle and TSI/SSI) effects in the atmosphere.
Successful candidates are expected to focus on research, but need to devote
a fraction of time to supervising PhD/MSc students, lecturing and/or other
education. The salary is based on the job demand level 5-7 of the salary
system for teaching and research staff in use in Finnish universities
(upper table in http://www.hallinto.oulu.fi/upj/ypj-palkat20130101.pdf).
Positions are for the first funding period. Extension is possible if ReSoLVE
is continued.

Oulu, the capital of Northern Finland at the Gulf of Bothnia of the Baltic
Sea, is a lively university town with a wealth of cultural activities and
happenings. The vibrant atmosphere of challenging front-end research in an
international team, as well as the wild beauty of the Northern nature,
including auroral displays, are guaranteed.

Applications to all positions should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Kalevi
Mursula [kalevi.mursula(at)oulu.fi], Chair of ReSoLVE. The entire
application must be merged into a single pdf-file and attached to the e-mail
including a subject field text "ReSoLVE Application". The application must
include the following parts:
*    Curriculum vitae (max 4 pages).
*    A brief description (max 2 pages) of research experience.
*    A list of publications, with up to five most relevant publications
highlighted.
*    Names and contact information (affiliation, email and telephone
number) of three persons willing to provide professional recommendations
upon request (all applications).

Positions are open until filled.
