The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) invites applications for a doctoral student position within the Leibniz Junior Research Group led by Dr Lara Cullinane “Chronicling the Clouds: Chemodynamics of the most massive dwarf galaxies”. The project is focussed on the stellar halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud, and involves isolating halo stars and chemodynamically characterising their properties. The successful applicant will assess the importance of different formation channels to the halo, and how dynamical events have played a role in the evolution of the galaxy. Analysis will primarily focus on a comprehensive set of stellar spectra from a new survey of the Magellanic Clouds with the 4MOST facility.
