PhD in Observational Cosmology: Galaxy Clustering & Lensing

Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas Margarita Salas (CSIC); Barcelona; Presencial; EUR 12.276 - 17.856; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

The Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) in Barcelona invites applications for a PhD position in Observational Cosmology. The selected candidate will study galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, with modeling via analytic theory or simulations and cosmological inference.

The student will contribute to the ESA Euclid mission and other major surveys (DESI, Rubin/LSST, DES). The position is for three years, with potential extension; salary aligns with Spanish PhD positions.

Formación

• Applicants should have the academic credentials to enroll in the PhD program at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) during the ********* academic year.
• This typically requires having completed, or being close to completing, an MSc (Master) degree or equivalent.
• The position is for three years, with the possibility of an additional year extension.
• Salary and benefits are in line with other PhD positions in Spanish institutions.
• We encourage applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in science, physics, and astronomy.

Responsabilidades

• The selected candidate is expected to research aspects of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, including their modeling through analytic theory or simulations and the cosmological inference.
• The student will contribute to the scientific exploitation of the ESA Euclid mission () and other leading galaxy surveys, such as DESI, Rubin/LSST, and DES.
