About this opening

The SFB 1759 'Habitability as a fundamental planetary process' at Freie Universität Berlin is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. The project aims to create a physics-based framework to evaluate the habitability of rocky exoplanets by examining how their interior structure and atmospheric processes interact. The successful candidate will enhance the 1D-TERRA atmospheric code and perform analyses related to detectability for current and future missions. Applicants should have a completed PhD in a relevant field and strong programming skills. Applications are due by August 10, 2026.
