| PhD position in galactic magnetic fields | Closing date: 2023-02-17
Contact: Georgia Panopoulou |
| Applications are invited for a PhD student position at Chalmers University of Technology on the topic of galactic magnetic fields. | | ▸ more | Project description:
Applications are invited for one PhD student position on the role of galactic magnetic fields on the evolutionary cycle of the interstellar medium. The aim of the position is to uncover how the magnetic field affects the structuring and transfer of matter from within individual star-forming regions out to galactic scales. The successful candidate will make use of the latest observational data from ESA and NASA space missions (including Gaia, SOFIA, Planck) and from the PASIPHAE survey, the largest optical polarization survey of the sky https://pasiphae.science. The position will provide opportunities for conducting new observations with state-of-the-art facilities and synergies with theoretical and computational Astrophysics, including the use of MHD simulations. The student will also collaborate with experts on galaxy evolution, the interstellar medium, star-formation, and astro-statistics both at Chalmers University of Technology and internationally. The PhD student position will be for 4-years with possible extension to 5 years with institutional duties. The position comes with generous benefits and a flexible starting date (preferably no later than September 2023).
Information about the division and the department:
The research in the division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics (AoP) covers a wide range of topics, including evolved stars, interstellar medium, astrochemistry, star and planet formation, exoplanets, observational cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution and galaxy clusters. The activities of AoP are situated at the main Johanneberg Campus and at the Onsala Space Observatory (OSO), which is the Swedish national facility for Radio Astronomy. The observatory operates telescopes in Sweden, shares in the APEX telescope in Chile, and hosts the Nordic ALMA Regional Center (ARC).
