PhD student position in the area of supernovae at the Department of Astronomy. Reference number SU 401-0002-12. Deadline for applications: August 15, 2012.

The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University announces the availability of one fully funded, 4-year PhD student position in the field of supernova research. The position is financed by the Swedish National Space Board and should involve observations and modeling of supernovae using a combination of space and ground based facilities. The Stockholm supernova group is active in both theoretical modeling and observations of all types of supernovae and their interaction with their surroundings. The most important facilities used are the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra and XMM X-ray observatories as well as the ground based VLT at ESO.

The department consists of about 10 faculty, 5 postdocs, and more than 20 PhD students, with a large range of nationalities. Research areas stretch from the Sun to the distant Universe. Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and is both a beautiful and lively city. English is commonly used both at the department and in daily life.
