| PhD position in galactic Astrophysics | Closing date: 2024-11-01
Contact: Gina Panopoulou |
We invite applications for a PhD position at the Division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics at Chalmers University of Technology. Join our dynamic research team to explore the role of magnetic fields and cosmic rays in shaping the interstellar medium of galaxies, and contribute to advancing our understanding of galactic astrophysics. | | ▸ more | Project description
You will work in the group of Asst. Prof. Gina Panopoulou. The group specializes in observational studies of interstellar magnetism as part of the division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics. The research project will involve the use of observations from radio telescopes probing magnetic fields and cosmic rays. The main aim will be to develop methods for inferring the properties of these galactic components from observations. The methods will be tested on existing magneto-hydro-dynamical simulations of galaxies.
Major responsibilities
conduct research (data analysis, software development, writing publications, studying literature, presenting at conferences),
complete courses in Astrophysics as well as transferable skills courses,
collaborate within international networks (e.g. SKA).
Research in the division covers a broad range of topics, including interstellar medium, star formation, galaxy evolution, evolved stars and exoplanets. PhD education at Chalmers offers a wide range of opportunities for career development, providing connections to astronomers in diverse fields, training in pedagogy, leadership, research ethics and an engaging and supportive work environment. As part of the PhD education, students conduct research and complete coursework covering advanced topics in Astrophysics.
