Solar System School — International Max Planck Research School for Solar System Science (PhD)

["The PhD programme is research-oriented and covers the full range of solar system science from geophysics and planetary science to solar and stellar physics including helioseismology and asteroseismology, as well as the underlying fundamental physics. Clickhereto read more.Thescience programmeis complemented by atraining programmein computational physics, data analysis techniques, space technology, project management, scientific writing, and presentation and other skills.Space missionsand ground-based instruments, data analysis as well as theoretical and numerical modelling provide excellent research opportunities for PhD students.Solar system science research subjectsincludecosmochemistry, small bodies in the solar system such ascometsandasteroids, the interiors, surfaces, atmospheres and magnetospheres of the variousplanets, the interior of thesunand sun-likestarsthrough helio- and asteroseismology, the sun's atmosphere from the photosphere to the corona, and solar wind and the heliosphere. Sun-Earth relations,extrasolar planetary systemsand sun-like stars are also studied. Methods of research include instrumentation, observation, data analysis and theoretical modelling."]
