Topic description

The Division of Astrophysics on the division of Physics at Lund College invitations candidates to at least one postdoctoral fellow place within the space of exoplanets and planet formation. We’re searching for candidates with backgrounds within the remark or modelling of exoplanets and/or proto-planetary disks, to hold out unbiased analysis in collaboration with the exoplanet and planet formation teams on the Division. The place is initially for 2 years. Anticipated beginning dates are within the fall/winter of 2023—2024, however no later than March 1 2024.

Astrophysics on the Division of Astrophysics additional encompasses galaxy formation, galactic dynamics and evolution, star formation and dynamics, high-energy astrophysics and stellar evolution. We’ve got sturdy hyperlinks with upcoming instrumentation, together with Gaia, 4MOST, CHEOPS, PLATO, LISA and ELT instrumentation (ANDES and MOSAIC).

 Work duties

The primary duties concerned in a post-doctoral place is to conduct analysis.The guy will work in collaboration with Dr. Jens Hoeijmakers, head of the exoplanet atmospheres group in Lund, in addition to Prof. Dr. Anders Johansen on the College of Copenhagen, head of the planet formation group.
