PhD position in computational modelling of asteroid collisions Asteroids, along with comets, are direct remnants from Solar System formation. They contain a relatively pristine record of the initial conditions present in the solar nebula, 4.6 billion years ago. These objects represent a unique opportunity to study the building blocks of planets and the role of […]

The exoplanet team of the University of Geneva has an opening for two PhD positions to work on detection and characterization of exoplanets through high-precision radial velocity measurements. Focusing on the low-mass range of exoplanets and using the high-precision spectrographs CORALIE, HARPS, HARPS-N, ESPRESSO, and NIRPS, Geneva exoplanets team is strongly involved in blind radial-velocity surveys as well as in the follow-up of transiting […]
Continue ReadingPhD position: Geochemical and isotopic investigations of interplanetary dust particles and micrometeorites
The Isotope Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry group (www.isotope.ethz.ch) is a vibrant, international group within the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology, Department of Earth Sciences. We use chemical and isotopic techniques to understand natural processes on a range of temporal and spatial scales. This includes the formation of the solar system and its planets as well as […]
Continue ReadingPhD Position in Noble Gas Cosmochemistry
The Isotope Geochemistry Group of the Institute for Geochemistry and Petrology at the Department of Earth Sciences is offerering a PhD Position in Noble Gas Cosmochemistry. The PhD project includes cosmochemical investigations to evaluate the origin, distribution and composition of the volatile elements in the solar system. The work will focus on noble gases and their carriers in […]
Continue ReadingPhD position in planetary science – cosmic dust / heliosphere
The Astrophysical dust group at the ETH Zürich focuses on the science of cosmic dust nearby and inside the solar system. The main methods used are computer simulations for studying the dust dynamics, and in situ measurements by spacecraft that carry a dust detector on board. We collaborate with researchers in Switzerland and abroad, in […]
