Job description:
The PPGCosmo is an international PhD program focused on Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Gravitation, designed to equip students for successful international scientific careers. The program offers diverse research topics from theoretical to observational aspects within the field, including involvement in major collaborations such as LIGO, Virgo, Einstein Telescope, J-PAS, Euclid, LSST, Pierre Auger Observatory, SWGO, and CTA.
Currently, we are offering three 4-year PhD positions starting in August 2024. Each position comes with a monthly fellowship of R$3100 (net value). The academic structure includes supervision by a professor from a Brazilian institution and co-supervision by a professor from an international institution. While the compulsory postgraduate courses are primarily conducted in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, students are also expected to visit other Brazilian institutions involved in the program and spend one year at an international co-supervisor’s institution.
Possible research topics: dark matter and dark energy models, extensions and alternatives to general relativity, observational cosmology, inflation, cosmic microwave background, large-scale structure, general properties of galaxies and galaxy clusters, gravitational lensing, quantum field theory in curved space-time, quantum gravity and its applications to cosmology and astrophysics, gravitational waves, supernovae, black holes, neutron stars, pulsars, white dwarfs, high energy astrophysics, multi-messenger observations of compact objects.
Please go to ppgcosmo.cosmo-ufes.org for further information on the application process.
