INTERNATIONAL MAX PLANCK RESEARCH SCHOOL (IMPRS) FOR ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS AT THE UNIVERSITIES OF BONN AND COLOGNE PhD POSITIONS IN ASTRONOMY Call for Applications *** Deadline: November 15, 2010 *** www.mpifr.de/imprs ===================================================================== PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND POST AT YOUR INSTITUTION THE POSTER FOR THIS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS, AT: http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pdf/imprs_2010.pdf The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Universities of Bonn and Cologne, funded by the German Max Planck Society, invites applications for its doctoral program. It is a collaboration between the Max-Planck-Institut f?r Radioastronomie (MPIfR), the Argelander-Institut f?r Astronomie (AIfA) of the University of Bonn and the I. Physikalisches Institut at the University of Cologne. The official and working language of the school is English. The IMPRS for Astronomy and Astrophysics offers a broad spectrum of topics in observational and theoretical, galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, observational and theoretical cosmology, fundamental physics with astronomical tools and more. Some examples: AGN Astrophysics * Structure and Kinematics of AGN Jets * Extragalactic Relativistic Flows * Multi-band Blazar Astrophysics ? Multi-frequency AGN Polarimetry * VLBI Studies of AGNs * Infrared Interferometry of Disks and Jets of Young Stars * Protoplanetary Disks * Radiative Transfer Modeling * Galactic Masers * Infra-Red Interferometry of AGN * Gravitational Lensing * Galactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields * High Precision Astrometry * Stellar Astrophysics and Stellar Evolution * Supermassive Binary Black Holes in AGN * Stellar Population Studies * Astro-chemistry * Galactic Dynamics * Binary Pulsars * Neutron Stars * Experimental tests of gravity * Transient Radio Sky * Faraday Galaxy Tomography * Radio Pulsars * Gravitational Wave Detection with Pulsar Timing * Stellar Cluster Dynamics * Dark Matter * Galactic Center Studies Besides the expertise in radio astronomy, IMPRS for Astronomy and Astrophysics offers the opportunity for scientific activity in all fields of contemporary astrophysical science, all modern techniques, methods and energy bands. Some examples of possible topics can be found at: www.mpifr.de/pdf/PhD_projects.pdf However, it is recommended that the local scientists are contacted for more details. The IMPRS for Astronomy and Astrophysics offers competitive PhD programs on the basis of a tightly structured curriculum, including: - Advanced lectures on fundamental astrophysical fields - Soft skill seminars (e.g. presentation skills, time management, scientific reading) - Weekly students seminars - Annual, students-only workshop where they develop team activities aside from their main research interests - Colloquia at the three hosting institutions given by experts from all over the globe - University courses - Thesis committees monitor the progress of each student and provide scientific feedback to the PhD progress - Travel funding for attending Summer/Winter schools and international conferences Furthermore, the students are strongly encouraged and funded to apply and travel to the best observing facilities around the world. They are exposed to the most advanced techniques and methods using state-of-the-art earth-bound or space observatories, such as the unique 100-m radio telescope in Effelsberg and the most advanced instruments in millimeter and sub-millimeter astronomy as well as high-energy band observatories. The call for applications is open until November 15, 2010. Encouraged to apply are students with a M.Sc. degree or diploma (preferably including a thesis) in Physics or closely related subjects. Solid astrophysical background is highly favored.
