A 3-year postdoctoral position is available within the Molecular
Astrophysics group of Prof. dr. E.F. van Dishoeck located at Leiden
Observatory focused on protostellar and protoplanetary disk chemistry
models, with the ultimate goal to follow the chemistry from collapsing
cores to exoplanet atmospheres.
The position is part of the Dutch Astrochemistry Network funded by the
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The project
is linked to guaranteed time JWST-MIRI observations and aims to
develop non-LTE excitation models of small molecules to analyze the
JWST spectra and infer abundances and physical parameters. In
addition, the sensitivity of chemical networks to photodissociation
branching ratios will be investigated. The postdoc is expected to
co-supervise PhD or MSc students and is encouraged to also pursue a
personal research program. The position can start anytime up to fall
2018.
Candidates with a Master degree in astronomy, chemistry or physics and
with an interest in astrochemistry are encouraged to apply.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, publication list, and
a brief statement of research experience and interests, and arrange
for at least two letters of reference to be uploaded on the relevant
website. Review of applications will start on November 1 2017.
