PhD position at Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands
Investigation of Anisotropies in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays
At the Department of Astrophysics of the Radboud University Nijmegen a vacancy is available for a 4-year PhD position. The topic of research will be the investigation of anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world largest air shower experiment with the goal to study the properties of highest-energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision. Important information about the sources of the ultra-high energy particles is expected from studies of their arrival directions. The feasibility of proton/charged-particle astronomy shall be investigated by estimates of the deflection of charged particles in the galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields as function of particle energy. The arrival directions of cosmic rays will be correlated with different classes of nearby extragalactic objects. A significant correlation would be a clear hint towards the sources of the highest-energy particles in the Universe.
The monthly salary will increase from 2000 Euro in the first year to 2558 Euro in the last year.
The Department of Astrophysics at the Radboud University Nijmegen is a young and vibrant group, consisting of four faculty, five postdocs, nine PhD students and of order five to ten Master students. Research in the department is focused on compact binaries and astroparticle physics, the latter in particular with the LOFAR and Pierre Auger experiments.
Candidates for this position must have received their Master’s degree in (astro)physics at the start of the PhD project. Applications can be sent to Ms. M. Nelemans, Human Resource Department, Faculty of Natural Sciences, P.O. Box 9010, 6500 GL, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, quoting vacancy no. 62.44.07. Selection of candidates will commence on February 15th, 2008.
For questions and further information on the project, please contact Dr. Jörg R. Hörandel, Assistant Professor for Astroparticle Physics and Astronomy, Department of Astrophysics, Radboud University Nijmegen, P.O. Box 9010, 6500 GL Nijmegen, The Netherlands, tel: +31-24-3652802, or through emailj.horandel@astro.ru.nl
