Zürich, Schweiz Department of Earth Sciences Vollzeit

Job description

Your tasks will be:

To further develop and couple existing numerical models of mantle convection, magma oceans, atmospheric chemistry and surface interaction and recycling, to be applicable to Venus and rocky planets in general. To perform state-or-the-art numerical modelling of coupled (interior-atmosphere) planetary evolution. To compare modelling results to observations of Venus and of exoplanet atmospheres.  To present results at conferences and in written research papers. 

One doctoral student will focus on the coupled atmospheric physics/chemistry + chemical magma ocean model then use it to model coupled atmosphere and magma ocean evolution, while the other will work on implementing mantle volatile transport and the surface-atmosphere interaction and recycling model, then model the long-term atmosphere-interior evolution of exoplanets, although there is some flexibility to make best use of your skills. 

Your profile

MSc in Earth science, planetary science, atmospheric science, physics, computational science, or related field. Strong programming and other computing skills.  Sound knowledge of the English language, both oral and written. Ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team.  Keen interest in expanding our knowledge about other planets. A curious mind, a positive attitude, a love of research.
