Real-World Complex Systems: fully-funded PhD positions

This is a call for students in their Physics Masters, who might be interested in our PhD program at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna. We have a number of fully-funded positions available for a cohort to begin studies in 2025. This is an open call; there are no restrictions on academic backgrounds or research interests.

The Graduate Program in Complexity Science invites PhD students to use science to change the world. Combine big data with quantitative modeling and rigorous theory to solve critical real-world challenges that matter to them – supporting a sustainable future, combating crime, preventing disease, and more.

World-Class Research Training

Students choose a thesis project and an advisor aligned with their goals and interests
Fully-funded PhD (salary, health insurance, paid vacation, pension) plus annual research travel budget

Real-World Impact

Two internships in policy, government, business, or other non-academic sectors
Global collaborations and access to real-world datasets

Complexity Science Curriculum

Transdisciplinary master classes led by prominent scholars from around the world
An individualized curriculum through a broad choice of partner universities

The Complexity Science Hub is Europe’s leading center for real-world complex systems research, located in Vienna, Austria. We are broadly interested in the many complex systems underlying our society, ranging from labor markets and disease networks to digital crime to societal dynamics and more.

PhD Student in (observational and theoretical) Space Plasma and Planetology in Nice, France: exploring the magnetosphere of Mercury with BepiColombo.

The Laboratoire Lagrange (Observatoire Côte d’Azur, Université Côte d’Azur and CNRS, Nice, France) is hiring a PhD student to work on a Space Plasma and Planetology research project investigating the plasma environment of Mercury, in the context of joint ESA-JAXA exploratory space mission BepiColombo.

Mercury, the innermost planet of our solar system and the only airless planet to exhibit a planetary magnetic field, remains the least explored of the telluric planets. BepiColombo will arrive at Mercury in 2025 and bring groundbreaking advances in our understanding of this planet and its interaction with the Sun. Among the different scientific objectives of the BepiColombo mission, a major one is to understand the structure and dynamics of Mercury's magnetized envelope: its magnetosphere.

The PhD project will focus on the exploration of the ionised and magnetised environment of Mercury, using both (i) brand new space-based experimental data from the BepiColombo mission, among which data that will be acquired from the Plasma Wave Investigation (PWI), as well as (ii) state-of-the-art High Performance Computing plasma numerical simulations to model the structure and dynamics of Mercury’s magnetosphere and its interaction with our Sun.

Prior knowledge and useful skills: Astrophysics, Plasma Physics, numerical simulations and/or data analysis.

For specifics about the position, outstanding candidates are welcome to contact Dr. Pierre HENRI - pierre.henri@oca.eu <mailto:pierre.henri@oca.eu><mailto:pierre.henri@oca.eu <mailto:pierre.henri@oca.eu>>
