About this position
The Atomic and Plasma Physics Group at the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Wien is offering a fully funded PhD project in experimental ion-surface physics.
The research investigates how singly and multiply charged solar-wind ions modify and sputter silicate and oxide mineral surfaces. These ion–surface interactions are central to understanding space weathering, the process through which exposed rocky surfaces are altered by the space environment.
The PhD student will combine controlled ion-irradiation experiments with advanced surface-analysis techniques and numerical sputtering models. The project aims to improve understanding of space-weathering processes on rocky bodies including Mercury and the Moon, connecting laboratory measurements and computational modelling with planetary-surface science.
The position is based in the Atomic and Plasma Physics Group within TU Wien’s Institute of Applied Physics in Vienna, providing an interdisciplinary research environment spanning experimental physics, surface science, plasma physics, materials science and planetary science.
