Research interests include Solar Physics, Solar-System Science, Stellar, Galactic and Extra-galactic Astrophysics.Facilities include a high-performance computer centre (for theoretical modelling and high-volume data analysis), and a new data visualisation center. AOP is a consortium member of the 11-metre SALT (Southern African Large Telescope), GOTO (Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer), and DKIST (Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope) optical, LOFAR (LOw FRequency Array) radio and the CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array) gamma-ray telescopes.
Candidates must have, or expect to obtain, at least an upper second class honours degree or equivalent, in an appropriate discipline (e.g. Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy or Astrophysics). Successful candidates will be enrolled at an appropriate university and carry out a research programme primarily based at AOP. The successful applicants will receive a grant based on the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council rate (£17,664 per annum in 2023/24) which lasts 3.5 years.
