Descripción
The IAC (Tenerife, Spain) invites applications for Two PhD fellowships in Astrophysics in the framework of the European Research Council Advanced Grant project "Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia color-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal)" ( Ref. HORIZON EUROPE ERC-2024-ADG, Grant Agreement number:, led by Prof. Carme Gallart.
The successful candidates will work towards obtaining their PhD at the IAC's headquarters in La Laguna (Tenerife) in a stimulating research environment. They will join the "Galaxy evolution in the Local Group" team, a growing, dynamic and collaborative research group mainly devoted to Galactic Archaeology and Near-field Cosmology, both from the observational (e.g. Gaia, WEAVE, 4MOST, LSST) and theoretical perspective, in collaboration with the "Numerical Astrophysics" research team.
The research topics pursued at the IAC include most areas of Astrophysics: Solar Physics, Planetary Systems, Stellar and Interstellar Physics, Galaxy Formation and Evolution, Milky Way and Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. These are supported by an ambitious instrumentation programme. Further information about the IAC's research programme, its Observatories and the 10.4 m telescope GTC is available on the IAC's Web site ).
A maximum of EUR 2,500 in aid is established, which will cover real, necessary and duly documented expenses related to the candidate's incorporation into their position at the IAC, at any of its locations. These expenses must fall into the following categories and have been incurred within the period of 14 days immediately prior to the start date of the contract: (1) Air or boat travel from the person to be recruited to Tenerife or La Palma, as appropriate. The ticket price will be the most economical fare. (2) Accommodation expenses in Tenerife, duly documented by invoice, and living expenses, from the day of arrival to the start date of the contract and in accordance with the maximum allowances for accommodation and living for civil servants, Group II.
No other expenses will be reimbursed. All these expenses must be authorized in advance by email to the interested party, who will be informed in advance of how to access this aid. The IAC is not responsible for any expenses incurred by the interested party that have not been authorized in advance.
Qualifications: To be considered, applicants must have a degree in Physics or Mathematics
The degree must satisfy the admission requirements of the University of La Laguna (ULL) PhD Programme in astrophysics, in which the student must register. The ULL requirements are satisfied by applicants with a MSc, as well as by those students with an Undergraduate Degree who have already obtained at least 300 credits (ETCs) of which at least 60 credits should correspond to an MSc Degree (other ways to fulfil the ULL requirements are possible; see the ULL website for details).
The candidates must satisfy the admission requirements by the deadline of this call.
Applicants may prove their eligibility to obtain the corresponding degree by submitting a personal academic certification showing that they have successfully completed the credits required to obtain the degree, along with proof of
