Postdoc position in space research and planetary sciences
Website University of Bern
Dear colleagues
The Astronomical Institute and the Space Research and Planetary Sciences division of the University of Bern are now accepting applications for a Postdoc position in the field of planetary science and planetary geodesy.
The position is related to a funded project in the context of ESA’s RAMSES (Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety), which will rendezvous with the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis in 2029 and observe its extremely close flyby of Earth; an event that occurs only once every thousand years. This unique natural experiment will provide unprecedented insight into how tidal forces can reshape an asteroid’s surface and internal structure.
More details on the position, required qualifications and conditions can be found under the following link:
We are looking forward to receiving your application until July 31, 2026.
Best regards,
Daniel Arnold
