Beca predoctoral FPI
By spr - Posted on March 3rd, 2008
Recibiremos con gusto solicitudes para una beca FPI del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia para llevar a cabo una tesis doctoral en nuestro grupo. El candidato seleccionado trabajará en el desarrollo de un modelo autoconsistente de la emisión de las poblaciones estelares y del polvo interestelar en galaxias. El modelo será aplicado a los datos fotométricos multifrecuencia de fuentes extragalácticas distantes obtenidas con diferentes telescopios en tierra (Keck, Subaru, GTC) y observatorios espaciales (Hubble, GALEX, Spitzer, Herschel). También tendrá acceso a los telescopios de la Palma (incluyendo GTC), Calar Alto, y ESO.

Pre-doctoral fellowship
By spr - Posted on February 26th, 2008
We invite applications for a pre-doctoral fellowship funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology for carrying out the Ph.D. at the UCM Group of Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical Instrumentation.
The successful candidate will work on the development of a self-consistent model of the emission from stellar populations and interstellar dust in galaxies that will be applied to the multi-wavelength photometry data of distant extragalactic sources obtained with different ground-based (Keck, Subaru, GTC) and space-based (Hubble, GALEX, Spitzer, Herschel) telescopes. He/she will have access to the telescopes in La Palma (including GTC), Calar Alto, and ESO.
