Big Science Sweden
Dynamic young individuals ready to take an active part in the ESO R&D projects with a good deal of team spirit, curiosity and eagerness to learn.
What are we offering?
An engineering PhD Studentship of 1 to 3 years; An international, multi-disciplinary environment, situated on the Garching science campus close to Munich, Germany, next to the best German universities, world-renowned research centres and 2 recent Nobel prizes; Working in collaboration with ESO's partner institutes and high-tech industries in the ESO member states; Three observatories at the forefront of ground-based astronomy and of technology: La Silla, Paranal and ALMA. And one of the most challenging telescopes under construction: the Extremely Large Telescope; An attractive remuneration package and support for relocating families. Current ESO active R&D projects:
Advanced visible and infrared detectors for astronomical instrumentation (modelling, testing, development of CMOS fast detectors, curved detectors...); Adaptive optics and related components including laser guide stars, deformable mirrors, wavefront sensing, tomographic techniques, interactions with segmented mirrors...; System simulation and modelling including deformable mirrors, telescope seeing effects, exposure time calculators, instruments, model-based system engineering; Optical metrology and photonics for (sub-)micrometric large structure characterisation, interferometry; Mechanics and cryogenics; Real-time computing; Machine learning applied to various topics (documentation management, data reduction, predictive control etc.).
