Our work is focused on fundamental research to understand the cloud and gas-phase chemistry in the diversity of extrasolar planets, and in modelling their 3D climate and weather behaviour in order to physically interpret observational data as for example from present space missions like JWST and CHEOPS and in the future, e.g., PLATO, Ariel, NEWATHENA, HWO.
Your profile:
· The applicant must hold a PhD in physics, astrophysics or geoscience or related areas.
· The successful candidate will benefit from a background in exoplanet and/or solar system cloud formation or chemistry modelling in diverse chemical environment.
· Experiences in programming are required.
· Past experiences in working with students will be beneficial.
Your tasks:
· The post holder will play a crucial role in working on our kinetic cloud formation model as part of our efforts in providing physical interpretations of observational data for space missions, for example, CHEOPS, JWST, PLATO, ARIEL, NEWATHENA, HWO. The post holder will be part of related space mission work packages.
The appointment may begin as early as June 01st , 2024; a later start date is possible. The appointment will be for 2+2 years. We offer an annual gross salary of € 66.501,40 according to the collective agreement of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Included are various social benefits.
