PhD Position in Galaxy Formation and Evolution

We announce a PhD position at the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics at Lund University. The PhD student will work with Oscar Agertz on galaxy & star formation and evolution in a cosmological context. While the successful applicant will get the opportunity to work on a wide range of topics, the research will center on numerical simulations of galaxies, with a focus on chemo-dynamical evolution in the context of future and ongoing surveys such as Gaia, APOGEE, WEAVE and 4MOST.

Candidates should send a curriculum vitae and a brief statement of research interest. The application should also include the names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of two persons who have agreed to serve as a reference for the applicant. Note that reference letters should not be sent to us in connection with the application; we will contact the reference persons when required. For more information about how to apply, see full advertisement.

The starting date is flexible, with a preferred date in the autumn of 2020.
