=======================================================================

 Dear colleagues,

We would be very grateful if you could pass on the following information
about available PhD positions at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for
Astronomy at the University of Amsterdam.  Our sincere apologies if you

  Best regards,
         Phil Uttley and Milena Hoekstra (API PhD recruitment team)

=================================================================

The Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy (API) at the University of
Amsterdam invites applications for multiple PhD positions in astronomy and
astrophysics.   The positions are open to candidates from any country. The
institute provides a stimulating, international environment in a city where
English is a common language.   Of our current 50 PhD students, over 70%
are foreign, and over 40% are female.

PhD students execute a vigorous research program, under the supervision of
one or more faculty members.  Positions will be available in a number of
fields of research where the institute is active, including exoplanets,
compact objects, stellar astrophysics and transients.

More information about our research can be found at
http://api.uva.nl/research/research.html.

University of Amsterdam PhD students are fully-funded for four years and
earn competitive salaries. The gross monthly salary starts at 2222 euro in
the first year, gradually increasing to 2840 euro in the fourth year.  This
is also topped up with an end of year bonus (one month salary) plus May
holiday bonus (also close to one month salary). Additional comprehensive
benefits include paid vacation, sick leave, disability insurance, maternity
and parental leave and pension contribution. The mandatory Dutch health
insurance is not included but is very affordable (~100 euro per month).
Relocation costs (within reason) will also be reimbursed.

Instructions for applicants are available at http://api.uva.nl/shared/
uva/en/vacancies/2017/10/17-488-phd-positions-in-astronomy-and-astrophysics.

astronomy, astrophysics, physics or a related topic by the PhD starting
