PhD student position (m/f/d) in MHD modelling of protoplanetary disks	Closing date: 2021-01-15 Contact: Oliver Gressel
Study the dynamical evolution of protoplanetary disks by means of MHD simulations including outflows driven simultaneously by photoevaporation and magnetocentrifugal disk winds. Derive predictive synthetic spectra and velocity maps for comparison with observations. Engage in the development of the simulation scenario by a) extending the model to the case of a central suppression of the surface density, and b) the formation of a planetary gap.
