Three PhD positions in astronomy, Stockholm University
The department of astronomy at Stockholm University announces the availability
of three fully funded, 4-year PhD student positions.
The department consists of about 10 faculty, 5 postdocs, and more than 20 PhD
students, with a large range of nationalities. Research areas stretch from
the Sun to the distant Universe. Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and is
both a beautiful and lively city. English is commonly used both at the
department and in daily life.
The three positions will be in the following fields
1) Solar Physics
2) Computational High Energy Astrophysics
3) Extragalactic astronomy.
Applicants will be considered for all three subjects, but are welcome to
indicate a preference.
PhD projects require the ability to work independently in addition to
collaborative skills and reative thinking. Since the research is typically
part of international collaborations good oral and written communication
skills in English are required.
The positions are open to students of all nationalities who at the start of
the position have the equivalent of a Master's degree in astronomy or
physics. The starting date for the positions are flexible from immediate to
November 2012.
Details on the application procedure and more information on our PhD program
can be found at the web address listed above. The deadline for
applications is May 2, 2012.
Stockholm University strives for a gender balance at all levels and we
therefore particularly welcome female applicants.
