Offer Description

A postdoctoral position in the field of protoplanetary disks, and Star and
Planet Formation will be offered.
The postdoctoral researcher will join project ”Dust2Planets” at IPAG (From Dust to
Planets: A Novel Approach to Constrain Dust Growth and the Planet Forming Zone in
Disks). The project is led by François Ménard and funded by the European Research
Council (ERC) via a 5-yr ERC-Advanced grant. The goal of Dust2Planets is to study the processes at work in the early stages of planet formation, in particular by studying the evolution of protoplanetary disks and the evolution of the dust they contain.

A postdoc position will be offered in this call, depending on the applications
received. The selected candidate will be expected to lead studies in the field of dust
and disk evolution within the Dust2Planets team. The successful applicant will also be
encouraged to develop independent research projects. IPAG hosts 7 research groups
working on all aspects of star and planet formation. They are strongly involved in
cutting-edge theoretical, numerical, and observational programmes. IPAG provides a
very dynamic and competitive research environment.

The Institute of Planetology & Astrophysics of Grenoble (IPAG) is a Joint Research Unit of 150 people under the supervision of the CNRS and the University of Grenoble Alpes. IPAG will provide all the necessary resources (office, workstation, scientific environment) to carry out this work within the dynamic Odyssey team. The candidate will join our research group working on the Dust2Planet (From Dust to Planets) project led by François Ménard.
