One predoctoral contract is available within the framework of the Comunidad de Madrid project "Illuminating the dark, missing and magnetised cosmic web", with reference 2022-T1/TIC-23797.
The student will primarily use radio galaxy data from Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinder telescopes (e.g. LOFAR, ASKAP), in order to constrain the magnetised properties of the cosmic web. These data will be combined with multi-wavelength tracers of cosmic structures to determine the role this diffuse magnetised gas plays in the evolution of galaxies and the cosmic web in general.
Interested applicants should send a CV, a transcript of Bachelor and MSc (or equivalent) grades, and a one-page motivation letter to s.p.osullivan@ucm.es before the 3rd of September 2023.
The contract is for 4 years and the salary is commensurate with other Spanish PhD fellowships. The expected start date is Oct - Nov 2023. Applications are especially encouraged from people from underrepresented groups.
