[ASA] ESO Studentship Programme 2021

ESO Studentship Programme 2021

The latest round of applications for ESO Studentships, to commence between Aug 2021 and March 2022, is now open (see below). While mindful of the complexity and uncertainties associated with taking up a position overseas in the coming year, it is worth noting these studentships can open a pathway to rewarding careers for many years to come. By virtue of Australia’s Strategic Partnership with ESO, applications from Australian citizens receive the same preferential status as those from citizens of ESO member states. Please direct any questions about the ESO Studentship Programme to Monika Petr-Gotzens (for Garching-based students) at mpetr at eso.org <mailto:mpetr at eso.org> , or Heidi Korhonen (Santiago) at Heidi.Korhonen at eso.org <mailto:Heidi.Korhonen at eso.org> .

AAL endeavours to be an environmentally sustainable organisation built upon equity, diversity and mutual respect for its staff and stakeholders.

ESO has recently released the call for applications for the ESO Studentship Programme.

The programme is designed for students who are enrolled in a PhD program. It gives them the opportunity to spend 1 or 2 years fully funded by ESO in either Garching or Vitacura to work on their PhD project under the supervision of an ESO Staff member.

ESO offers a unique international environment, populated by a diverse group of scientists and engineers all working together to support the observatory’s mission.

ESO’s PhD students have the chance to interact with all the ESO staff and to work closely with other PhD students, astronomers at early career stages like the ESO Fellows, and the astronomers of the ESO Faculty. The ESO offices in Germany are located in the Garching campus, which is one of the largest in Europe and which hosts several Astronomical Research Institutes. The Vitacura campus in Chile with the ESO and ALMA offices inhabits a lively scientific environment with almost 100 astronomers. ESO students in Chile have the opportunity to visit the observatory sites and to get involved in technical projects that allow insights into instrumentation or science operation. All ESO students are invited to participate in outreach activities; in Garching this is especially encouraged, as the ESO Supernova center is adjacent to the ESO office building.

The ESO Offices for Science both in Garching and Chile offer a rich variety of seminars, topical and daily science coffees and events, which create a stimulating scientific environment. ESO students are expected to participate actively and to practice their presentation/chairing skills. On top of the official supervisory team (Staff+Fellow) the Office for Science also supports the PhD students by providing mentors and monitoring progress with bi-yearly PhD reports to help the students during this very critical stage of their career.

The application deadline for the first call of 2021 is May 31st. To apply on-line, please visit the  <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org> ESO recruitment portal ( <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org/> https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org).
