The main goal of the project - the improved calibration of the extragalactic distance scale is a common goal to all Araucaria group members and very different approaches will be applied to reach this goal. The project presents a novel and unique application of several methods to measure precision distances to nearby galaxies (e.g. https://araucaria.camk.edu.pl/ )
A successful candidate will lead her/his own project in a collaboration with the Araucaria project members. The task will include observations, data analysis, preparing publications and presenting results on international conferences. The work will concentrate on calibration of Cepheids (both the P-L relation and B-W method).
Furthermore, the Araucaria project operates a collection of telescopes located in Cerro Murphy Observatory, Chile, just in front of the construction place of the E-ELT. Exceptional weather conditions make this observatory an excellent tool for implementing research projects. The PhD student will have a guaranteed access to this facility and is expected to perform regular observations there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_Murphy_Observatory)
