Thanks to a large grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (Spinoza Prize), several PhD positions covering a wide range of topics are now available in the group of Prof. Heino Falcke.
The work of the Radio Astronomy and Astroparticle Physics Group at Radboud University Nijmegen focuses on theoretical, observational and experimental astrophysics. The group is involved in the commissioning and operation of the new low-digital radio telescope LOFAR, the largest of its kind in the world. The group also participates in the Pierre Auger Observatory collaboration and is working on cm+mm-wave measurements of black holes (Alma, VLA, VLBI, etc.).
Organization
The campus of Radboud University hosts approximately 17,500 students and is conveniently located within easy cycling distance from the lively centre of Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands. The city is situated close to the German border and well connected to other major population centres in the Netherlands and Germany (e.g. Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, the Ruhr area, Cologne).
The astronomy department at Radboud University offers a pleasant and supportive work environment. It is firmly embedded in the Dutch and international astronomy and astroparticle physics community.
