Postdoctoral Position in Planetary Sciences at
il y a 1 semaine
Qualifications:
Ph.D. in a relevant field such as Experimental Petrology, Mineral Physics, Planetary Sciences, Geophysics, or Computational Physics.Strong background in planetary sciences with a focus on Mercury or related fields.Experience with experimental techniques (e.g., high-pressure experiments, multi-anvil press) and/or numerical modeling and simulation techniques.Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or Fortran.Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a demonstrated ability to conduct independent research and contribute to collaborative projects.Strong written and oral communication skills in English, with a track record of scientific publications and presentations.The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at KU Leuven invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Planetary Sciences, focusing on research related to the planet Mercury. This position is funded by the European Research Council Consolidator Grant "IronHeart" and offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in understanding Mercury's internal structure through experimental and computational approaches.
Project Description:
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to integrate both experimental investigations, utilizing a multi-anvil press to simulate extreme pressure and temperature conditions within Mercury's interior, and computational modeling into the project. However, the project's focus will be tailored to the candidate's preference. By combining experimental and computational approaches, the project aims to provide comprehensive insights into the formation and dynamics of Mercury's interior.
Responsibilities:
Experimental Studies:
Design and conduct high-pressure experiments using a multi-anvil press to simulate conditions within Mercury's interior.Characterize the mineralogical phase assemblages and physical properties of materials under high-pressure conditions.Analyze experimental and thermodynamic data to infer constraints on Mercury's composition and internal structure.Computational Modeling:
Develop and implement numerical models to simulate Mercury's internal structure and dynamics.Integrate experimental data into computational frameworks to constrain Mercury's interior properties.Analyze model outputs to investigate the thermal evolution, core-mantle interactions, and geophysical properties of Mercury. KU Leuven is a leading European research university located in Leuven, Belgium, consistently ranked among the top universities worldwide. With a rich history dating back to 1425, KU Leuven is renowned for its high-quality education, cutting-edge research, and international academic community.
