4 YEARS PHD STUDENT POSITION FP6 RTN - MOLECULAR UNIVERSE - THE NETHERLANDS ------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite applications for a 4-years PhD student position within the EU research traning network "Molecular Universe". The molecular universe network consists of 21 institutes in 9 countries all active in molecular astrophysics and is funded under the FP6 Marie Curie Research and Training Network Program. Detailed information is available from http://molecular-universe.obspm.fr/ The position is located in the Netherlands and supervised by Xander Tielens (Kapteyn Institute Groningen - http://www.rug.nl/sterrenkunde) and Harold Linnartz and Ewine van Dishoeck (Leiden Observatory - http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl). The project focusses on laser spectroscopic studies of gas phase species that are of astrophysical relevance (Leiden). In addition, the position has a strong modelling/observational component (Groningen). The EU conditions for applicability are listed at the Molecular Universe home page and for this particular position we are looking for a non-Dutch young researcher, member of an EU or an EU-associated country. Qualified women are particularly encouraged to apply. Within the network, training is provided in a number of related fields and exchange programs between participating groups are standard.
