Kinetic turbulence and particle acceleration in space plasmas (project

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The research activities will be carried out within the framework of the project "REKIPES" (Radial Evolution of large- and KInetic-scale Processes in the Expanding Solar wind). The main objective will focus on the study of intermittency properties in kinetic turbulence, including small-scale reconnection effects, with the kinetic physics of both ions and electrons, primarily using PIC-type codes, such as ZELTRON, already in use within the UNICAL team. Requirements. Additional Information . Eligibility criteria. PhD in Physics or equivalent qualification. Main requirements: experience with advanced numerical simulations for the study of turbulence phenomena in space and astrophysics, with particular expertise in modeling the kinetic physics of plasmas, with applications ranging from the solar corona to the theoretical study of kinetic and small-scale reconnection effects in astrophysical plasmas. Proficiency in parallel computing and with codes such as ZELTRON; experience with numerical models in the field of magnetohydrodynamics; experience in the physics of particle acceleration processes; proficiency in the English language.
