Two Positions for PhD or Integrated PhD (2026 Spring)
Position 1: Gravity and Magnetic Fields in the Interstellar Medium, Star and Planet Formation
Position 2: Gravity and Magnetic Fields in Black Hole Growth and Environments
We seek highly motivated candidates for 2 Ph.D or Integrated Ph.D positions in the Gravity and Magnetic Fields in Cosmic Ecosystems project (GrandMagnet) at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, under the supervision of Professor Thiem Hoang.
The successful candidate will join our research group to investigate the role of gravity and magnetic fields in the formation of stars, planets, and black holes from interstellar matter (dust and gas) and to study the influence of stellar and black hole feedback on interstellar and circumgalactic matter. The successful candidates will work on:
(1) numerical modeling of dust emission/polarization, numerical simulations, and synthetic observations of polarization, and/or
(2) data analysis and modeling of multiwavelength polarization data from different polarimetric instruments such as SOFIA/HAWC+, JCMT, ALMA, and future SKA. One position will focus on the interstellar medium and star/planet formation, while the other will focus on the interstellar medium and the growth and feedback of black holes.
