PhD scholarship in Astrophysics
4 days ago
We are seeking applications for a 3-year PhD position at DTU-Space, focusing on stellar astrophysics. You will join the ERC-funded MAGNIFY group under the leadership of Dr. Victoria Antoci. This project aims to explore the effects of magnetic fields on stellar structure and mixing processes. The research will delve into magnetic field generation, their influence on stellar pulsations, and their broader implications for stellar evolution. MAGNIFY investigates variability caused by stellar spots and examines the origins of magnetic fields in A and F stars. By utilizing asteroseismology, the project aims to detect and analyze near-core and surface magnetic fields, comparing theoretical models with photometric observations from the Kepler and TESS satellites, as well as data from Gaia and ground-based spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observations.
