| TWO ERC-FUNDED PHD POSITIONS IN EXOPLANETS WITHIN THE "THIRSTEE" PROJECT | Closing date: 2025-01-15
Contact: Rafael Luque |
| We invite applications for two PhD 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. The PhD degree will be granted by the University of Granada. | | ▸ 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).
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated student to work at the frontier of the rapidly moving field of exoplanets. One of the students will contribute to the data reduction and analysis of JWST observations, developing new data modeling and noise mitigation techniques. The other student will contribute to the measurement of precise and accurate bulk densities of small planets using transit and radial velocity observations from state-of-the-art facilities worldwide.
