Doctoral Positions in Exoplanet Atmosphere Characterisation and the Search for Life

We are looking for one or two Doctoral Students to work on the atmospheric characterisation of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and the search for life within the Exoplanets and Habitability Group led by Prof. Sascha P. Quanz at ETH Zurich. The positions is closely connected to the ETH-led LIFE space mission. LIFE is a space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer to directly detect and spectroscopically characterise dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets around nearby stars. The successful candidates will join the LIFE Science Team and work closely with researchers and students at ETH Zurich and across the wider LIFE collaboration.
