The exoplanets group in the Institute of Space Sciences (Institut de Ciències de l'Espai, ICE), Barcelona, Spain, www.ice.csic.es, invites applications for a 3-year post-doc position, to start by end 2022/beginning 2023 (flexible). The position will fit within the ERC Starting Grant IMAGINE, joining a project aimed at considering the imprints of magnetic fields on exoplanets, from observational and theoretical perspectives. | ▸ more | The Institute of Space Sciences (Institut de Ciències de l'Espai, ICE - CSIC/IEEC), Barcelona, Spain, www.ice.csic.es, invites applications for one senior post-doctoral position, to start end 2022/beginning 2023 (flexible).
The post-doc position will fit within the new IMAGINE group, whose project (funded by an ERC Starting Grant, https://www.ice.csic.es/erc-imagine/ ) aims at considering the magnetic imprints on exoplanets from observational and theoretical perspectives. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to theoretical and numerical studies regarding either: (i) dynamo / star-planet interaction; (ii) long-term thermal and magnetic evolution; (iii) internal structure. Partial dedication to other topics of research will of course be possible.
We collaborate with other groups at ICE, in particular the exoplanet group led by Ignasi Ribas and including a dozen people, among which Guillem Anglada-Escudé, and the star formation group, led by J.M. Girart.
Applicants are expected to have experience in one or more of the three topics mentioned above. The successful candidate, if interested to stay longer, will receive support and advise in applying to national and European calls (Ramon y Cajal, Marie-Curie Fellowships, ERC Grants...).
The expressions of interest for this position have to be sent to Daniele Viganò, vigano (at) ice.csic.es , providing the following:
- CV (maximum 3 pages)
- Two reference providers (name, affiliation, relation with the candidate and e-mail), who will be contacted if the candidate is shortlisted
- Research statement (maximum 2 pages)
The 3-years contract will cover the costs of the National Social Security (the Spanish public healthcare system), with a gross salary of about 42.000 Euros per year (Doctor FC3 in the CSIC salary scheme). Budget for material and attendance to conferences and visits will be granted by the project. Once selected, the ICE administration will assist the candidate, within their possibilities, with the required bureaucratic steps, like title equivalence, work permit and visa application, if applicable.
The expressions of interest will be reviewed after November, 15th 2022 (extended!), but the position will remain open until filled. Inquiries can be sent to the above e-mail.
Women and members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
About the institution:
Currently, ICE's staff is growing and counts about 25 faculty members, 25 post-doc fellows, 25 PhD students and 30 engineers. The areas of research vary, from engineering applied to several space missions to fundamental physics, from high-energy astronomy to theoretical astrophysics. ICE has been awarded with the national excellence seal Maria de Maetzu, which will imply a growth of job opportunities and collaborations in the next few years. ICE pertains to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC, the Spanish National Research Council). CSIC is the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain and the third largest in Europe. ICE is also part of the consortium Catalan Institute of Space Studies (Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya).
Our institute is committed to building a culturally diverse and safe community of researchers, dedicated to contributing to an inclusive environment.
ICE is located in the campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Bellaterra, just outside Barcelona. The campus is well served by public transportation (railways and buses), and a variety of temporary and long-term accommodation options can be found both in Barcelona city and in the smaller towns close to the campus.
