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, 10 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 (observational)
2) Supernova studies (observational/theoretical)
3) Galaxy formation & evolution (observational)
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 creative 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 2013.
Details on the application procedure will appear on 1 April at
http://www.astro.su.se/english/about-us/vacancies/
The deadline for applications is 2 May, 2013.
