Descripción de la vacante

EU Satellite Centre (SatCen) in Meudon (Observatoire de Paris, LIRA) seeks a fixed-term researcher to analyse radio emissions from Solar Orbiter RPW data. You will develop automated methods to study type III bursts, derive electron velocity distributions at key phases, and compare with simulations to estimate scattering in the interplanetary medium.

The role requires knowledge of radio instrumentation, Python programming, and strong teamwork, with autonomy and initiative.

Formación

• Good knowledge of radio instrumentation.
• Good programming skills (Python).
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, autonomy and initiative.

Responsabilidades

• Work with the catalogue of more than 15,000 type III radio bursts observed by Solar Orbiter's RPW instrument.
• Develop a method to automatically analyse the detailed time evolution of the emissions at different frequencies, deriving electron velocity distributions at the onset, peak and decay phases.
• Compare these distributions with numerical simulations of radio emission and use them to estimate wave-scattering effects in the interplanetary medium.
