Chile holds a crucial and unique place in observational astronomy, as home to the largest collection of telescopes in the world. From state-of-the-art facilities like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST), the Very Large Telescope (VLT), and the Atacama Large Millimeter\/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA), to next-generation instruments including the Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) and the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) currently under construction &#8211; Chile\u2019s Atacama Desert in the north is set to host around 70% of the world\u2019s ground-based astronomical infrastructure.<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u00a0This represents an exceptional opportunity for Chilean research institutes to compete for 10% of the observation time reserved for the host country on each telescope &#8211; positioning our institute strategically to conduct cutting-edge research in astronomy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">In 2019, the Doctoral Program in Astrophysics was launched, marking an important step in training the newer generation of astronomers, and in consolidating our institute as an internationally renowned group. Then, the Astronomy Nucleus renamed in 2023 as the Institute of Astrophysical Studies (Instituto de Estudios Astrof\u00edsicos or IEA, in Spanish).\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Over the last decade, the IEA has established itself as an international and\u00a0 highly productive research institute &#8211; with its members contributing to over 1000 publications, securing grants and observing time, as well being part of leading collaborations both nationally and internationally. All the faculty members have embraced the challenge to create a new PhD program in Astrophysics in Chile, that would be adapted to the current reality of astronomy and caputre the good practices learned in all our previous institutions across the globe. The IEA thus became a fertile territory to plant new seeds in how we see modern astronomical research.<\/span><\/p><p><!-- notionvc: 09cb2856-a3a8-4c27-bc48-8fb74907509d --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bddc14d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bddc14d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Overview<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-934d496 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"934d496\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a8ff5c\" data-id=\"5a8ff5c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4df76e1 elementor-drop-cap-yes elementor-drop-cap-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4df76e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;drop_cap&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The IEA offers a PhD programme in Astrophysics, with extensive research opportunities across the fields of<strong> Stellar and Galactic Astronomy, Extragalactic Astronomy, and Planetary Systems<\/strong>.
