The Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) at the Section for Astrophysics and Atmospheric Physics at DTU Space, invites applications for two PhD Fellowship positions starting in September 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy (API) at the University of Amsterdam Netherlands (UvA) to work in Associate prof. Jean-Michel Désert’s group on the characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. The primary responsibilities of the position are to lead research projects in the area of exoplanet atmospheres. Researchers working in the areas of observations or theory are invited to apply.

You will participate in network meetings across Europe, where you will learn about quantum technology from experts in the field and train essential skills, such as academic writing and outreach. You will participate in a summer school on clocks and organize a conference together with the other ESRs. You will spend half a year in the lab of a partner in either Copenhagen, Torun or Birmingham.

The position is open to talented individuals who hold a doctorate in physics or a closely related field and have excellent potential for a productive scientific career. Materials is one of the strategic focus areas of Aalto University. Quantum physics, condensed matter physics and quantum technology are among the key research areas at the Department of Applied Physics.
