| PhD student position in the area of protoplanetary discs | Closing date: 2022-12-16
Contact: Oliver Gressel |
| We are seeking for a highly motivated, talented individual, who will be part of an ERC-funded research project at the interface of theoretical astrophysics, astrochemistry and (sub-)mm/IR astronomy. | | ▸ more | Motivated by understanding the environments in which planets form, the ambitious research project encompasses theoretical, numerical and observational aspects of accretion physics in the context of poorly ionised and, at the same time, self-gravitating protoplanetary discs. Candidates with interests in the areas of astrophysical fluid dynamics and MHD are particularly encouraged to apply. Existing skills in scientific computing will be considered valuable assets. The position is available for initially three years , as part of the ERC project. It is then subsequently supported for another year on institute funding. Applicants are required to hold a Master?s degree in astronomy / (astro)physics, and should show promise of an independent approach to identifying and tackling relevant scientific questions in their subject area. A basic conception of (astro)physics in general, as well as good English skills (written and spoken) are essential. An existing rudimentary background in the field of star formation / protoplanetary disks will be considered advantageous. The salary will be based on the German public service collective agreement (at 65% TV-L E13) . Adequate project funding for work-related travel is available, as well as dedicated local computing resources. Employer contributions to medical and dental insurance, parental leave, and retirement benefits are included. The nominal starting date is May 2023 , but individual arrangements will be possible.
