Dear
colleagues,
There are
two research opportunities in cosmic dust science at the ETH in Zürich,
Switzerland. The Astrophysical Dust Group at the Institute for
Particle Physics and Astrophysics (IPPA), ETH Zürich, in Switzerland, is
looking for highly motivated candidates to apply for a postdoctoral researcher
position, and a PhD position, within the framework of the ERC funded project
“The heliosphere and the dust: characterisation of
the solar and interstellar neighbourhood”. The
projects include cosmic dust data analysis, modelling of the interstellar dust
transport through the heliosphere, and applying the results to other
astrospheres and the solar system in the past. For more details and submission
of the applications, see:
