Published Date:
The University of Vienna is offering a postdoctoral position as part of the ERC Consolidator Grant EASE (Early Earth, Venus, and Mars as Exoplanets) led by Kristina Kislyakova.
The project aims to explore the joint evolution of Earth, Venus, and Mars, and their place in the larger family of exoplanetary systems.
The postdoctoral researcher will study the spectral features of Earth, Venus, and Mars at different evolutionary stages and generalize the results for exoplanets.
Scope of Work
The postdoctoral researcher will study the spectral features of Earth, Venus, and Mars at different evolutionary stages and generalize the results for exoplanets.
The team will adapt the atmospheres to stars with different evolutionary histories and explore alternative evolutionary outcomes.
Specific experience with modeling of observable features of exoplanets, experience with forward atmospheric models and retrieval models, in-depth knowledge of stellar evolution, and experience with evolution of solar system objects is considered a strong asset.
Eligibility
PhD in related astrophysical topics completed by the starting date
Extensive Experience in one or more of the above-mentioned topics
Advanced programming skills
Interest in (co-)mentoring graduate and undergraduate students
Excellent ability to work in a team and excellent communication skills
Budget and Duration
The position is 100% funded (40h/week) for 4.5 years (with a possibility of an extension to 5 years).
The basic gross salary is EUR 4,752.30 (on a 40h/week basis) per month, 14 times a year.
Additional Information
The University of Vienna offers an inspiring working atmosphere, privileged access to the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) super-computing facility, good public transport connections, work-life balance with flexible working hours, internal further training & Coaching, and equal opportunities for everyone.
