PhD Fellowships, Cosmic Dawn Center, Denmark (2018)

The Cosmic Dawn Centre (DAWN) invites applications for PhD Fellow positions starting in September 2018. The fellowships are intended for outstanding candidates with a background in astronomy, physics, or related technical disciplines who are interested in doing research within DAWN’s research themes: high-redshift galaxy evolution, epoch of re-ionization, first stars and galaxies, dust and ISM in the early universe and dark matter. Positions are available for three years for candidates already holding a MSc, or for five years for candidates who would obtain both a MSc and PhD during their studies at DAWN.

DAWN is a new center of excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, and is located at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen and at the Space division of the Danish Technical University (DTU-Space). The center brings together experts in all aspects of early Universe galaxy evolution and is deeply involved in major existing and upcoming surveys with HST, ALMA, Euclid and JWST, as well as cosmological and zoom in simulations.

In addition the center has a number of associate members at major research institutes across Europe, North America, and Australia. PhD students will have both an advisor in Copenhagen and an external advisor at one of our affiliated research institutes. Students will also be expected to spend several months outside of Denmark, which could be at one of our affiliated institutes or another major research intitute. Our most recent PhD students have used this time at Cornell, Hawaii, and Oxford.
