Postdoc in Planetary Atmospheric Science and JWST Observations of Giant Planets University of Leicester in United Kingdom

Imperial College London is advertising a Research Associate in Space & Planetary Physics focused on the largest moon of Jupiter, Ganymede , and its electromagnetic/plasma environment. The project is tied to the ESA JUICE mission and the JUICE J-MAG science team, with work centered on analysing existing magnetic field and plasma measurements, combining theory and modelling, and helping constrain the electrical conductivity of Ganymede’s subsurface ocean. This is a strong fit for candidates intere...

Funded PhD student positions are available in space plasma physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, USA) with the Magnetospheres of the Outer Solar System (MOSS) group led by Prof. Sven Simon . The research focuses on moon-magnetosphere interactions in the outer Solar System, with a primary emphasis on the Galilean moons of Jupiter . The work combines theoretical plasma physics , kinetic and fluid numerical modeling , and analysis of spacecraft observational data . Applicants sho...

The University of Warwick’s Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) is recruiting a Research Fellow in space physics , plasma physics , numerical modelling , and scientific computing . The project focuses on modelling Earth’s magnetosphere and radiation belts , including magnetospheric, ring current, and radiation belt simulations during geomagnetic activity. This is a fixed-term, full-time post within a five-year STFC/UKRI-funded multi-institution collaboration involving the University...

PhD opportunity in astrobiology , microbiology , geomicrobiology , environmental science , and the study of extreme environments . The project asks how microbial life survives and grows in different brine compositions across low and sub-zero temperatures, and what these habitats can reveal about the potential for life beyond Earth. The student will join AstrobiologyOU and work on the project 2027-OU08: Exploring the limits of habitability from Antarctic brines to icy worlds . The research focuse...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on climate change impacts on the Antarctic coastal ocean carbon sink , supervised by Dr Dorothee Bakker in the School of Environmental Sciences. This project focuses on how rapid sea ice decline, glacial melt, and warming may alter ocean CO2 uptake in Ryder Bay and along the Antarctic Peninsula. The research combines marine carbonate chemistry , environmental chemistry , marine sciences , climate science , data analysis , and mathematical modellin...
