Offer Description

The Institute of Planetology & Astrophysics of Grenoble (IPAG) is a Joint Research Unit of 150 people under the supervision of the CNRS and the University of Grenoble Alpes. IPAG will provide all the necessary resources (office, workstation, scientific environment) to carry out this work within the dynamic Odyssey team. The candidate will join our research group working on the Dust2Planet (From Dust to Planets) project led by François Ménard.

We are offering one PhD position in the field of protoplanetary disks, and Star and
Planet Formation, in particular by studying the evolution of the dust and the exploitation of data from a microwave analogy experiment.
The PhD candidate will join project ”Dust2Planets” at IPAG (From Dust to Planets: A
Novel Approach to Constrain Dust Growth and the Planet Forming Zone in Disks). The project is led by François Ménard and funded by the European Research Council (ERC) via a 5-yr ERC-Advanced grant. The goal of Dust2Planets is to study the processes at work during the early stages of planet formation, in particular by studying the evolution of protoplanetary disks and the evolution of the dust they contain.
The selected candidate will pursue his formation and studies in the field of dust
properties and/or dust evolution in young disks within the Dust2Planets team. Active
collaboration with Dust2Planets and Odyssey team members will be fostered, under
the direct supervision of François Ménard.
The IPAG hosts seven research groups working on all aspects of star and planet formation. They are strongly involved in cutting-edgetheoretical, numerical, and observational programmes.
