Dr. Siebmorgen has a PhD project to offer that includes treatment of dust  polarisation :

Dust polarisation 3d radiative transfer models

There is a possibility for a student to do this PhD project with him as ESO supervisor and within the ESO
studentship program. However, in that program a Professor at an University is needed who will take the responsibility
of the PhD. ESO will support this project by sponsoring 2 years, while the last year must be sponsored by the
Professor. In these two years the student would work at ESO and then go for the last year to the Professor's University.

Details on the ESO studentship programme is available at:

http://www.eso.org/sci/activities/FeSt-overview/ESOstudentship.html

Anyone at an University and with interest in dust polarisation who might have possibilities for covering the 3rd year
should contact Dr. Siebemorgen.  Application deadline is 1 May.
