The program covers the full range of physics inherent in the field of solar system science from geophysics and planetary physics to solar physics as well as the underlying fundamental physics. The science program is complemented by training in computational physics, space technology and project management.
High-profile space missions, outstanding projects for ground-based instruments and data analysis, as well as theoretical and extensive numerical modeling provide a wide range of research possibilities for PhD students.
Applications for the program are open to highly-qualified and well-motivated students from all countries. A prerequisite is a diploma or master of science degree in physics or a related field, including a corresponding thesis. Proficiency in English is required.
The next PhD program will start in January 2011, review of application begins on 1 August 2010. Successful applicants will receive adequate financial support.
The application documents should include a CV, the filled application form (see web page), copies of university certificates and two letters of recommendation. The application can be send either by mail or by email (preferentially one attachment in pdf format).
