The DTU Space, the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowships in the area of exoplanets.
About the research:
- The exoplanet research group at DTU Space focuses on understanding and characterizing exoplanets with emphasis on terrestrial planets, super-Earths, and sub-Neptunes.
- Two key areas of research: 1) discovery, validation, and precise mass measurements of transiting and non-transiting planets to understand their composition and structure and 2) observation, characterization and modelling of exoplanetary atmospheres.
- The overall aim of our research is to advance our insight into the diversity and composition of the abundant small planets and to pave the way for biosignature observations.
- The successful candidates will work with Prof. Lars A. Buchhave and Senior Scientist João Mendonça .
