| Senior Scientist Position in Astronomy, University of Vienna | Closing date: 2020-06-16
Contact: Prof. Manuel Guedel |
| Applications are invited for a Senior Scientist position in astronomy/astrophysics in the Department of Astrophysics of the University of Vienna. The candidate will supervise scientific projects in the framework of international co-operations (including ESA and ESO projects) and collaborate on research focusing on (exo-)planetary habitability; participation in teaching activities is expected. | | ▸ more | The tasks conform to the collective agreement of the Austrian universities §26(2) and (5); they comprise as the main activities
1) scientific co-supervision of project participations in the framework of international co-operations, and direct scientific involvement in these projects (e.g., in working groups, science teams, access to observations). They include in particular ongoing programs and projects under development for ESA missions (presently CHEOPS, PLATO, ARIEL, SMILE, Athena, and projects in preparation) and ground-based observatories (in particular METIS for the ESO ELT, and the MARVEL telescope array). Special tasks include the participation in international consortium and/or collaboration meetings, contributions to preparatory studies and documents, (co-)organisation of meetings, budget administration for projects, and correspondence with funding agencies.
2) research within the research focus "planetary habitability" of the star and planet formation group of Prof. Dr. Manuel Guedel, including topics like the characterization of exoplanets and their potential for habitability, the interaction of (exo-)planetary atmospheres with the planetary environment (solar/stellar radiation, particles, and winds), and the modeling of planetary upper atmospheres, independently and in international science co-operations. This also includes support for related organisational and administrative matters (budgets, organisation of meetings).
Further tasks include,
3) conducting independent teaching as defined by the collective agreement and organising exams
4) supervision/co-supervision of students
5) contributions to general organisational and administrative tasks as well as evaluation procedures
The specific tasks can be adjusted to ongoing and new projects.

In that case and by mutual agreement there may be the possibility to extend the duration of employment, and at a later stage there may be a possibility to make the employment permanent.
Conditions: doctoral degree in astronomy or astrophysics - several years of experience in astrophysical research and in large astronomical projects - excellent command of written and spoken English.
Applications should be addressed to Manuel Guedel, include a motivation letter, a CV, a publication list, a summary of past research (max. 3 pages), and a description of proposed research (max. 2 pages) submitted via the University of Vienna Job Center,

The initial appointment will be for 3 years (with possibility for extension). | | ▸ more | The successful candidate will work with Dr Cegla on the "Pathway to the Confirmation and Characterisation of Habitable Alien Worlds," supported by the UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship programme. They will characterise stellar surface variability and measure the alignment between exoplanetary orbits and their host stars rotational spin-axis. In doing so, they will also spatially resolve distant stars, investigate stellar surface variability and determine stellar differential rotation across main sequence stars.
The Astrophysics group at Warwick is one of the UK's leading exoplanet research groups, and provides an excellent environment for a motivated Research Fellow to further their scientific career. Some of the post holders time may be available for their own independent research, preferably in the area of exoplanets or stellar/solar physics within the Physics Department at Warwick.
At the University of Warwick, we strongly value equity, diversity and inclusion, and the Physics Department will provide a healthy working environment, dedicated to outstanding scientific guidance, mentorship and personal development. We are committed to individuals with care giving duties and can offer flexible working hours. Applications for a part-time position will be considered.
