The Centre for Star and Planet Formation at the Globe Institute is offering a postdoctoral fellowship in the field of cosmochemistry and planetary sciences. The fellowship is available from June 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Centre for Star and Planet Formation (Starplan) is a multidisciplinary research centre focused on understanding the formation of planetary systems, including the Solar System, using a multidisciplinary approach that combines astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmochemistry. The main focus of this research position is centred on elucidating the processes leading to the formation of the Solar System, including the accretion and differentiation of rocky planets using a range of analytical techniques with a primary focus on innovative isotope geochemistry approaches for investigation of extra-terrestrial material. Research topics include identification of the precursor matter to terrestrial planets and probe how its composition varied and was modified in space and time, determination of the disk environment where the primordial population of planetesimals seeds formed and assessment of the role of thermal processing and outward recycling in modifying inner disk matter.
Profile
We seek a highly motivated individual with a strong background in isotope geochemistry and/or planetary geology to join a dynamic group to pursue innovative research and take full advantage of the multidisciplinary environment the centre offers, including state-of-the-art geochemistry and isotope facilities. These include, amongst other instrumentation, thermal-ionization (Thermo Scientific Triton) and multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma (Thermo Scientific Neptune and Neoma) mass spectrometers as well as ultra-clean laboratories for dedicated use of the section members. The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications:
- You have a PhD in Earth and planetary sciences or a related field.
- Strong scientific track record demonstrated by high-quality publications in peer-reviewed international journals as first author in the field of planetary sciences and cosmochemistry.
- The candidate should be able to conduct independent and creative research and show good interpersonal and communication skills.
- Strong background in mass spectrometry or related analytical techniques.
- You are excellent in written and oral communication in English.
- You have experience in research collaborations and have demonstrated enthusiasm, motivation, flexibility, and confidence.
Place of employment
The place of employment is at the Centre for Star and Planet Formation, Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure.
Terms of employment
The employment as postdoc is a full-time and fixed-term position for 3 years and the starting date for employment is June 1, 2025, or soon thereafter. Salary, pension, and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Currently, the monthly salary starts at DKK 35,715 kr/approx. EUR 4,788 (April 2025-level). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. The University of Copenhagen will pay an additional 18.07% to your pension fund.
