| TWO ERC-FUNDED POSTDOC POSITIONS IN EXOPLANETS WITHIN THE "THIRSTEE" PROJECT | Closing date: 2025-01-15
Contact: Rafael Luque |
| We invite applications for two postdoc positions in exoplanets at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) located in Granada (Spain) within the ERC-funded "THIRSTEE" project led by Dr. Rafael Luque. The desired starting date is Fall 2025. | | ▸ more | THIRSTEE aims to decipher the enigmatic nature and origin of planets with sizes between Earth and Neptune, also known as sub-Neptunes. The project is based on state-of-the-art observations using a multi-technique approach combining transit, radial velocity, atmospheric characterization, and novel statistical analyses. The THIRSTEE team at IAA-CSIC will be composed of three PhD students and two postdocs, and will have frequent interactions with collaborators of the THIRSTEE project in other institutions worldwide (incl. USA, UK, and Spain).
The candidates must have a background on the analysis and interpretation of exoplanet data. One postdoc will contribute to the analysis of the guaranteed radial velocity data of transiting sub-Neptunes and development of new projects. Another postdoc will contribute to the analysis of the JWST observations already granted to the team and the development of new proposals and projects aiming to understand the atmospheric and interior composition of sub-Neptunes. Both postdocs will also be involved in the mentoring of the PhD students of the group.
