observational, interpretative and theoretical research in the fields
of extra-solar planets, stellar physics, high energy astrophysics,
galaxy evolution and dynamics, and observational cosmology.
Candidates are encouraged to send their application before November
4th 2019, including a CV, motivation letter, list of MSc courses and
grades. Please send a single pdf file in an email with subject "PhD
Geneva" to Annalisa De Cia ([log in to unmask]). A MSc in Physics
