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...

ETH Zurich is inviting applications for the ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship programme (ETH Fellows) , a prestigious early-career postdoctoral opportunity for outstanding incoming researchers. The fellowship is designed to support academic independence and scientific excellence, with fellows expected to propose their own independent research projects and work in strong synergy with an ETH Zurich professor who acts as mentor. Research areas: the call is broad and suitable for candidates across STEM an...
