Applications are invited for a PhD position in Computational Galaxy Formation at the Department of Astrophysics. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Feldmann to investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies using state-of-the-art cosmological simulations.
The scientific computing infrastructure at the University of Zurich is excellent and includes dedicated access to the top-notch facilities of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre.
Potential research projects include: studying the properties of massive galaxies with and without feedback from supermassive black holes, investigating the impact of different dark matter models on galaxy evolution, developing a machine learning-based emulator for stellar feedback, and implementing baryonic processes relevant for galaxy formation into an in-house high-performance code.
A Master's degree (or equivalent) in physics, astronomy, or a related field is required for enrollment into the doctoral program (see formal admission requirements). Individuals with a strong interest in numerical simulations, data analysis, and galaxy evolution are especially encouraged to apply.
