PhD Position in Computational Chemistry–Metabolism Modeling for Venus and Enceladus University of Bern in Switzerland

Open PhD position at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the Extreme Environments Research Laboratory with Julia Schmale . The project focuses on Antarctic vertical aerosol and cloud measurements within the international initiative Antarctica InSync . The research will investigate aerosol-cloud interactions over coastal Antarctica and the Southern Ocean sea ice using instruments deployed on a tethered balloon/helikite and at ground level. Research activities include vertically res...

The University of Bern is advertising a fully funded PhD position in Planetary Science within the Space Research and Planetary Sciences division. The project focuses on how impacts and sublimation shape the surfaces of comets and other icy bodies , with particular attention to impact craters , surface morphology, and long-term landscape evolution. The research combines laboratory experiments on crater sublimation with numerical modelling of landscape evolution over billion-year timescales. The s...

Postdoctoral position in exoplanet atmospheres at the University of Bern This is a fully funded postdoc in the Space Research and Planetary Sciences group at the University of Bern, Switzerland, working on the atmospheres of transiting sub-Neptunes. The project is part of the SNSF-funded Exo-Neptune Census starting grant led by Assistant Professor Hugh Osborn. The research focuses on population-level analysis of sub-Neptune radii, masses, and atmospheres to understand the formation, composition,...

PhD position in fire impacts on terrestrial carbon cycling at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL (ETH Domain), with enrollment as a PhD student at ETH Zurich . The project is part of the recently funded SNSF FIRE project, which studies how wildfires affect carbon cycling , transit times , and carbon sources across the critical zone from soil to groundwater and laterally. The work is interdisciplinary and includes collaborators in Switzerland and the USA. Rese...
