Offer Description

The successful candidate will participate in the analysis of spectroscopicdata available in online archives (such as the one for HST) for stars with known circumstellar environment. In particular, they will search for variable features that could indicate the presence of exocomets, and try to characterise them. They should have experience in UV spectroscopy, and analysis of spectroscopic lines. The candidate should also have experience in proposal writing, although this is not an excluding factor.
