Postdoc in Astrochemistry at Onsala Space Observatory

We are looking for a motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher to pursue progressive research in astrochemistry in collaboration with associate professor Eva Wirström at Onsala Space Observbatory and Chalmers. The position has an initial assignment of two years with potential for an additional year, ample funding for dissemination and possibilities for collaborations both within the astronomy research community at Chalmers, as well as international collaborators.

You will be expected to pursue research focused on your chosen aspect of astrochemistry during star and planet formation, in collaboration with prof. Wirström's group. Research questions of particular interest in the group are the water trail from cold dark clouds to planetary systems, complex organic molecules, isotopic fractionation as a tracer of astrochemical history, and nuclear spin effects. For a successful application, your research plan should clearly demonstrate its contribution to, and/or synergies with, one or several of these questions. The proposed research could be either observational or theoretical, or a combination of both. The position also includes opportunities for small fractions of time dedicated to astronomy outreach as well as supervising undergraduate, Master's and/or PhD students. 

Position: Full-time temporary employment for 2(+1) years, starting in mid-2022. To qualify for the position you must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the start date of the position. Good verbal and written communication skills in English are required. Experience of working as part of a team is an asset.

Applications only accepted through the Chalmers on-line application system. Deadline 15 January.
