Contexte de travail
The recruitment is funded by the ANR DDISK which aims to optimally exploit the data from the SPHERE instrument in order to detect exoplanets and circumstellar disks that can provide information on planet formation processes. The position is at the Center for Astrophysics Research in Lyon in the AIRI team which is working on this project in collaboration with external laboratories (LESIA, IPAG) French. Our team is also involved in the PEPR ORIGINS which funds several doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows related to this research topic. The Center for Astrophysics Research in Lyon (CRAL) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR5574) supervised by the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, the ENS of Lyon and the CNRS. The CRAL is a laboratory for fundamental research in astrophysics and the development of instruments for large observatories. The CRAL includes approximately 30 people with researcher or teacher-researcher status, 20 with engineer, technician or administrative status, and 30 with doctoral, post-doctoral or fixed-term contract status. The CRAL hosts the LabEx LIO and the Lyon M2 students of the Lyon-Montpellier Astrophysics Masters in its premises.
