evolution". The group's research work concentrates on the observation, characterization, and modelling of
exoplanets, focusing in particular on the study of atmospheric structure and evolution using both observations
and theory. Furthermore, the group holds significant expertise in the analysis of transit light curves and of radial
velocity time series, as well as in the determination of stellar parameters from evolutionary models. The group
is heavily involved in a number of current and future space missions (e.g. CHEOPS, CUTE, PLATO, ARIEL,
ESCAPE, HWO) and in large collaborations exploiting ground-based high-resolution spectrographs to carry out
both exoplanetary and stellar science. The position is funded through a grant of the Austrian Research Promotion
Agency as part of the Austrian Space Applications Programme.

Your tasks:

  • Characterization of systematic uncertainties involved in stellar evolution modelling
  • Development of a (web) tool enabling one to estimate systematic uncertainties on stellar mass and age,
- focusing in particular on the region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of interest to the PLATO mission
  • Publication of original research work on refereed journals

Your profile:

  • PhD in the relevant fields of astrophysics
  • Experience with stellar evolution modelling. In particular, experience with the MESA stellar evolution
- code and the computation of grids of stellar evolutionary models will be considered as an asset
  • Familiarity with the development of online web and/or open source tools
  • Experience in scientific programming and publishing
The appointment begins as early as January 01st, 2025 and will be for 2 years. A later starting date is also possible.
We offer an annual gross salary of € 66.501,40, susceptible to increase depending on inflation, according to the
collective agreement of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Included are various social benefits.

Applications must include a cover letter in addition to (1) curriculum vitae, (2) list of publications, (3) statement
of the applicant's research experience (max 2 pages), (4) certificates for academic record, and (5) the name and
should be directed to Dr. Luca Fossati.
