Post doctoral position in the field of exoplanets and their host stars

2 weeks ago

Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral position in the field of exoplanets and their host stars at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark. The position will be open for start-dates in early 2025.

Expected start date and duration of employment
This is a 2-year position with a negotiable start date of 01.03.2025.

Job description
The position will focus on exoplanet host stars, exploiting data from facilities such as Kepler and TESS. The primary tasks could include:

  • Detecting (weak) asteroseismic signals in solarlike exoplanet host stars, exploiting machine learning and/or noise mitigation techniques.
  • Studying particularly interesting systems in detail.
  • Investigating star-planet interactions for planets close to their host star.

While there will also be time to pursue other lines of related research, the postdoc is expected to collaborate closely with the other members of the Astronomy group at the department.

Your profile
The applicant should hold a PhD in astronomy or similar and have experience in handling data. In addition, the applicant should have expertise in asteroseismology, astrophysical noise sources, machine learning or star-planet interactions. Demonstrated ability to publish in relevant astrophysics journals and a strong oral and written proficiency in English is considered essential. Further beneficial qualifications include time management skills and the ability and motivation to develop and pursue new ideas.

Who we are
The astronomy group is home to several people working with exoplanets and exoplanet host stars as well as experts in stellar modelling and stellar oscillations. We have a friendly and welcoming working environment.

What we offer
The department/centre offers:

  • a well-developed research infrastructure.
  • a research climate encouraging lively, open and critical discussion within and across different fields of research.
  • a work environment with close working relationships, networking and social activities.
  • a workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.

Place of work and area of employment
The place of work is Ny Munkegade 120, 8000 Aarhus C, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.

Contact information
For further information, please contact: Assistant professor Mia S. Lundkvist, lundkvist@phys.au.dk.

Deadline
Applications must be received no later than the 24th of October 2024.

Application procedure
Shortlisting is used. This means that after the deadline for applications – and with the assistance from the assessment committee chairman, and the appointment committee if necessary, – the head of department selects the candidates to be evaluated. All applicants will be notified whether or not their applications have been sent to an expert assessment committee for evaluation.

Formalities and salary range
Natural Sciences refers to the Ministerial Order on the Appointment of Academic Staff at Danish Universities under the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.

The application must be in English and include a curriculum vitae, degree certificate, a complete list of publications, a statement of future research plans and information about research activities, teaching portfolio and verified information on previous teaching experience (if any).

Aarhus University's ambition is to be an attractive and inspiring workplace for all and to foster a culture in which each individual has opportunities to thrive, achieve and develop. We view equality and diversity as assets, and we welcome all applicants.

The application must be submitted via Aarhus University's recruitment system, which can be accessed under the job advertisement on Aarhus University's website.
