Postdoc in Exoplanet Atmospheres at the University of Bern University of Bern in Switzerland

PhD position at the University of Bern in computational chemistry, metabolism modelling, planetary science, and astrobiology within the NCCR Genesis research infrastructure. The project investigates the habitability of two extreme Solar System environments: the cloud layer of Venus and the subsurface ocean/plume environment of Enceladus . The successful candidate will develop a computational modelling framework that combines planetary environmental chemistry with microbial metabolic networks to ...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Interiors and Evolution of Sub-Neptunes at ETH Zurich offers an opportunity to work on one of the most active and open questions in exoplanet science: how the deep interiors of sub-Neptunes interact with and shape their observable atmospheres over long timescales. The project is hosted in the Exoplanet Interiors and Atmospheres group led by Prof. Caroline Dorn and embedded in NCCR Genesis , a Switzerland-wide, highly interdisciplinary network connecting planetary physi...

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking a Postdoc for the SubLIME laboratory to work on submillimeter spectroscopy of sublimated interstellar and planetary ices . This opportunity is centered on laboratory astrophysics and space science, with strong relevance to astronomy, physics, and chemistry. The post highlights preferred experience in submillimeter spectroscopy and/or vacuum and cryogenic systems . Candidates with hands-on laboratory experience in these areas are especially encouraged t...

ETH Zurich’s Atmospheric Chemistry group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC) is inviting applications for a 4-year PhD position in atmospheric chemistry on “Investigating oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere” . The project focuses on the cycling of NOx and other forms of oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere, with implications for air quality and climate . The research will use global modeling tools such as GEOS-Chem and CESM , together with analysis of large observational ...

PhD position at the University of Bern in the Centre for Space and Habitability / Division for Space Research and Planetary Sciences within the new NCCR Genesis research infrastructure. The project focuses on astrobiology and life detection , specifically combining remote sensing via circular spectro-polarimetry with in situ laser-based mass spectrometry to detect biosignatures. The research is highly interdisciplinary and connects physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, and planetary science...
