PhD student in High-Energy Astrophysics
---------------------------------------

A PhD position is currently open at the Observatoire de Genève/ISDC
(University of Geneva).

The Geneva Observatory and the associated Laboratory of Astrophysics
of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne carry out
observational, interpretative and theoretical research in the fields
of extra-solar planets, stellar evolution, stellar physics, high
energy astrophysics, galaxy evolution and dynamics, and observational
cosmology.

The successful candidate will work on observational and theoretical
aspects of accretion in high-mass X-ray binary systems. The work will
involve analysis of data obtained by XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, Chandra and
optical telescopes and interpretation and confrontation with models
and results from numerical simulations.

Applicants should have a Master or Diploma in Physics or Astronomy (or
equivalent). Successful applicants will receive financial support
through the University of Geneva for 4 years and upon completion will
be honored by a doctoral degree (PhD) awarded by the University.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled and should
be sent by e-mail to
