PostDoc in exoplanet atmospheres at the University of Bern

UniBE is prestigious.

With us, you benefit from the excellent reputation of a long-standing institution all around the world.

Your profile

The ideal candidate would have expertise in applying Bayesian statistical methods to astronomical datasets, experience modelling exoplanetary transits, deep knowledge of atmospheric physics (e.g. chemistry, radiative transfer, etc), and a proven track record as an independent researcher. Specifically, expertise extracting spectra from JWST timeseries data and the retrieval of abundances will be most useful. Additional theoretical expertise in connecting sub-Neptune interiors & atmospheres would also be beneficial. The fellow would have the opportunity to play a key role in the IN/AT-SYNC JWST large programme targeting the atmospheres of sub-Neptunes in resonant systems (Co-PI Osborn). The PostDoc is additionally expected to help obtain further JWST transmission spectra of sub-Neptunes.
