Join to apply for the Cosmology & Galaxy Formation role at Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC)
3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants
The Role
We are currently accepting applications for the above mentioned position. This is a unique opportunity for highly motivated students recently graduated from the University in Physics or related fields to gain research experience in one of DIPC's high-profile research teams. The Cosmology Group at the Donostia International Physics Center is inviting applications for a PhD position. The project will investigate the connection between cosmology and the physics of galaxy formation. To this end, we will employ simulation-based models to describe the spatial distribution of galaxies and its links to dark matter, dark energy, and neutrinos in the universe. These models will then be used to analyse state-of-the-art observations of the large-scale structure of the cosmos, to place constraints on the fundamental components of the universe.
Desired Background & Competences
- Experience in cosmology, high-performance supercomputing, and/or statistical analyses of large datasets.
Working Conditions
- Contract duration: 1 year (possibility to extend up to 4 years)
- Estimated annual gross salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales
- Target start date: 2026/05/01
Inclusive Environment
We offer and promote a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
The Center
DIPC is a research center whose mission is to perform and catalyze cutting-edge research in physics and related disciplines, as well as to convey scientific culture to society. Located in Donostia / San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain), DIPC was born from a strategic alliance of both public institutions and private companies. Since **** DIPC is a "Basque Excellence Research Center" (BERC) recognized by the Basque Government's Department of Education. In ****, DIPC was also recognized as a "Severo Ochoa" Excellence Center by the Spanish Research Agency.
About The Team
The successful applicant will join the group of Prof. Raul Angulo, which focuses on simulations of the large-scale structure of the universe and the modelling of cosmological probes.
How to apply
Interested candidates should submit a CV, an academic record, and 2 reference letters. The reference number of the specific opening to which the candidate is applying should be stated in the subject line, and the application must be received before the application deadline. Although candidates are welcome to contact the project supervisors to know further details about the proposed research activity, please be aware that the application will be evaluated only if it is submitted directly to the email address listed below as application email.
