Fellowship in Astrochemistry and Geology

Position Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our dynamic team at the Centre for Star and Planet Formation, Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will work on elucidating the processes leading to the formation of the Solar System, focusing on accretion and differentiation of rocky planets using innovative isotope geochemistry approaches.

About the Role:

The position involves research on the precursor matter to terrestrial planets and how its composition varied and was modified in space and time. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in isotope geochemistry and/or planetary geology and demonstrate excellent scientific track records, including high-quality publications in peer-reviewed international journals.

Responsibilities and Expectations:

• Conduct independent and creative research on planetary formation and cosmochemistry.
• Collaborate with our multidisciplinary team and contribute to the development of innovative research projects.
• Develop and maintain state-of-the-art geochemistry and isotope facilities, including thermal-ionization and multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• 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.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in an international research environment.
