Potherat, Coventry, UK)\n\nPostdoctoral Research Associate\nCoventry University\n\nComputational Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)\n\nApplications are invited for a research position in computational fluid mechanics. The project consists of investigating the properties of wall bounded turbulent flows under the influence of a strong magnetic field. The Research Associate will be in charge of implementing a new type of spectral methods that uses bases of functions that are tailored to the flow. He\/she will then  use the code to simulate experimental configurations where chaotic or turbulent flows were observed (more info on this technique can be found in Dymkou & Potherat J. Theor. Comp. Fluid. Dyn. 23 (6) 2009, and Potherat &  Dymkou,  J. Fluid Mech 655, 2010) .\n\nApplicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in the field of fluid mechanics or applied mathematics and have an excellent research track record, evidenced by publications in leading peer reviewed journals such as J. Fluid Mech, Phys Rev or equivalent. A very good understanding of fluid mechanics, solid programming abilities and a basic knowledge of functional analysis are essential. Prior knowledge of MHD will be appreciated but isn't a requirement.\n\nThe Magnetohydrodynamics group at Coventry is internationally established as leading in the field of liquid metal magnetohydrodynamics. It covers theoretical, experimental and numerical aspects of both fundamental and applied problems. The group benefits from extensive experimental and computational resources, that are unique in the UK.\n\nSalary:\n         \u00a323,571 - \u00a331,674 per annum, depending on experience\nContact for informal enquiries:\n         Dr. A.

As a 20-year old tradition, we aim to bring together active members of the laboratory, space and astrophysics plasma physics communities from around the world and we also aim to foster intellectual interaction and scientific collaboration addressing the processes responsible for various common plasma phenomena.\n\nThe following is a list of topics to be covered:\n\n         Collisionless shock and particle acceleration\n\n         Magnetic dynamo and angular momentum transport\n\n         Reconnection and explosive phenomena\n\n         Plasma waves and wave-particle interactions\n\n         Instabilities and turbulence\n\n         Physics of dusty plasmas and sheaths\n\n         Jets and winds.\n\nThere will be both oral sessions (consisting of tutorial and invited talks) and poster sessions. Interested parties should contact the organizers or members of the Scientific Organizing Committee listed below:\n\n         Hantao Ji (PPPL, Chair)\n\n         Riccardo Betti (U. Rochester, PPPL)\n\n         Robert Bingham (RAL, U. Strathclyde)\n\n         Chris Chaston (UC Berkeley)\n\n         Steven Cranmer (Harvard \u2013 Smithsonian)\n\n         James Drake (U.
