Laboratory for Astrophysics
Stage, bachelor en masteronderzoek in het Laboratorium voor Astrofysica
It is possible to perform your traineeship (4th year HBO), bachelor or master research project in the Laboratory for Astrophysics. You will join an ongoing research project and depending on your interests, the focus of your project will be defined. The topic will be always related to astronomy, but the exact work can be anything; construction and design of new equipment, measuring on the existing setups, programming, analysis and interpretation, combination of lab data with astronomical observations, ..., you name it.
The procedure:
- Send a short mail to linnartz 'at' strw.leidenuniv.nl to make an appointment. For external students we request also a short motivation letter and CV.
- We typically supervise 3 traineeships/semster, so please contact us not too late.
- COVID-19; as a direct consequence of the Corona crisis we are currently very limited in lab access which also affects traineeships. We hope to be able to start offering positions from February 2021 onwards.
International traineeships
We offer traineeships to students from abroad, typically in their final Master year, but not for very short periods (< 3 months) and not over the Summer months, i.e. from mid June to mid September. The latter also applies to summer traineeships. Please contact us for any further questions.
The conditions / de voorwaardes;
- HBO: je zit in het laatste jaar van een natuurkundige/technische richting en jouw Hogeschool erkent de Sterrewacht Leiden als een formele afstudeerplaats. Dit is bv. het geval voor de Hogeschool den Haag.
- Bachelor: je studeert bij voorkeur A/N of N/A, je staat experimenteel goed in je schoenen en je hebt je Ba programma vrijwel afgerond. Omdat het hoofd van het lab ook de BRP coordinator van sterrenkunde is, kun je bij hem terecht voor alle vragen.
- Masters: you are subscribed for the masters astronomy, physics or chemistry and you are interested in the experimental aspects of scientific research. Please note, that we will only offer a lab project to persons with a sound background in experimental work. Alternatively, your project may involve astronomical research linked to (ongoing) lab work.
