About this position
The Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) at Peking University is offering the PKU Planet Formation Fellowship, a two-year research fellowship with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.
The fellowship is centered on planet formation and protoplanetary disks, with opportunities to work across theory, simulations, machine learning, and observations. The successful fellow is expected to pursue independent and original research while also collaborating with faculty members in related areas, including Ruobing Dong, Gregory Herczeg, Feng Long, and Lile Wang.
KIAA sits within Peking University’s astronomy community, which includes faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduates, and visiting scholars. The institute emphasizes an international academic environment, with English as the working language, and hosts seminars, workshops, and conferences that connect researchers from China and abroad. The position is also situated within a broader astronomy program that includes the CSST PKU Science Center, supporting future analysis of survey data from the Chinese Space Station Telescope.
The fellowship is aimed at researchers joining a vibrant astronomy and astrophysics environment at KIAA, where the selected fellow will have scope to develop an independent research program while engaging with a broad scientific community.
