PhD Positions
Water in Star-Forming Regions
Leiden Observatory and Max-Planck Institut fur Extraterrestrische Physik
Two 4-year PhD (AIO) positions are available to study the physical and chemical evolution of low-mass star-forming regions using data on water and related molecules to be obtained in the context of two approved Herschel key programs, WISH and DIGIT. Complementary ground-based submillimeter programs using JCMT, APEX and submillimeter interferometers are planned as well. The analysis will involve state-of-the-art radiative transfer techniques and chemical-dynamical models.
One PhD position will be located at Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands, working mostly with Herschel-HIFI data, whereas the second position will be at the Max-Planck Institut fur Extraterrestrische Physik (MPE), Germany, working mostly with Herschel-PACS data. Both PhDs will be awarded at Leiden University.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae (with a list of grades for exams), a brief statement of research experience, and the names of at least two people who can serve as a reference. Selection of candidates will start on MARCH 1 2008 and will continue until the positions are filled. The positions are open to students of all nationalities with the equivalent of a "doctoraal" (Masters) degree in astronomy, physics or chemistry. The starting date for the positions can be anytime in 2008. Please send applications to:
