Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) at Peking University (PKU). PKU hosts a vibrant research community with multiple AOS faculty members working on planetary climates and habitability. We seek a motivated researcher to work on theory and simulations of exoplanet atmospheres. The successful candidate will join the team of Prof Daniel Koll (https://danielkoll.github.io/) and will lead an effort to characterize the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets, using recent advances in modeling, theory, and JWST observations.
All research will be conducted in English. Individuals will have excellent opportunities for professional development, including the potential to advise student projects, to participate in international collaborations, and to work with cutting-edge telescope data.
The compensation is competitive with other international postdocs and includes PKU staff benefits. Candidates are also eligible to combine the position with PKU’s Boya prize postdoctoral fellowship.
Applicants should possess a PhD or equivalent qualification in Climate Science, Planetary Science, Astronomy, or related field by the time the appointment begins. Start date is flexible but expected to be in the fall of 2025. The position is for two years, with potential for extension.
Interested candidates should submit the following materials:
- Curriculum Vitae and list of publications
- Research proposal (max 2 pages)
- Name and contact details of two references
Please contact Prof Daniel Koll for any questions.
