GRAIL (Gamma Radiation from the Atmosphere for Investigation and Learning) is recruiting 15 PhD/Doctoral Candidates across Europe under an EU Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network . The network focuses on high-energy atmospheric physics , including terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) , gamma-ray glows (GRGs) , thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGEs) , lightning-related high-energy emissions, radiation risk, and advanced measurement and simulation methods. The post shared by Irfan Kuvvetli highlights a specific opportunity at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space) : DC12 , centered on intelligent CZT detector development for transient gamma-ray missions . The project includes full waveform readout , neural network signal processing , and performance testing, making it especially relevant for students interested in detectors , space instrumentation , electronics , and data science . The broader GRAIL network also includes projects at universities and research institutes in Norway, Armenia, Spain, Germany, France, and elsewhere, with topics spanning atmospheric electricity, gamma-ray detection, simulation, radio-frequency emissions, avionics risk, and radiation effects. Training is structured and international, with cross-sector secondments and collaborative research across the consortium. Eligibility: applicants must satisfy the Horizon Europe Doctoral Network mobility rule , meaning they must not have lived or worked in the host country for more than 12 months in the last 36 months. The post is aimed at doctoral candidates; no master’s or postdoctoral opening is indicated. Funding: the positions are fully funded PhD scholarships within the Horizon Europe network. The post does not state a stipend amount. Application: explore the full list of positions and apply via the linked GRAIL announcements/application page. Review the project descriptions carefully and select the doctoral candidate position that matches your background and interests.
