PhD position DISKS-ROCK - planet forming disks with JWST and ALMA

Doctorat / PhD Type de contrat : TEMPORARY Date limite de candidature : 2026-12-20T00:00:00+01:00

PhD position in the group of Prof. Inga Kamp working on planet forming disks What are you going to do? The James Webb Space Telescope shows an intriguing difference between the mid-IR spectra of disks around Solar mass stars and Very Low Mass Stars, the former being oxygen-rich, the latter carbon-rich. Within my ERC project DISKS-ROCK, we will decipher these JWST spectra and characterize the current birth environment of planets forming there. The PhD candidate will perform forward modeling using an existing thermo-chemical disk code. The project comprises applying the code to JWST and ALMA data and investigating physical scenarios that shape mid-IR molecular spectra of the warm inner disks.
