About this position

The University of Vienna is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the Star and Planet Formation group in the Department of Astrophysics. The project focuses on debris disk research, with related opportunities in the study of solar-system asteroids and the Kuiper Belt, exozodis, and dust and planetesimal dynamics in evolved protoplanetary disks.

The successful researcher will strengthen theoretical studies and the interpretation of observations from cutting-edge observatories through simulations. Over the three-year appointment, they will develop independent research projects, lead a proposed research programme, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present results at international meetings, and contribute to the supervision of bachelor’s and master’s students.

The position is embedded in a department of around 100 members and a collaborative environment spanning star and planet formation, planet evolution, stellar astronomy, and star–planet interactions. Research groups led by Manuel Güdel, Kristina Kislyakova, and Sudeshna Boro Saikia work together on disk physics, mineralogy, and chemistry, with participation in major space missions and ground-based observatories including ELT/METIS, Cheops, PLATO, Ariel, JWST/MIRI, and other international facilities.

The researcher will work at the University Observatory in Vienna and may benefit from access to the Austrian Scientific Computing supercomputing facility, as well as the University of Vienna’s international astrophysics research network.
