Postdoctoral Researcher

University of Padova, Department of Geosciences Location Sector Geodynamics (GD) Planetary and Solar System Sciences (PS) Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS) Type Contract Level Experienced Open Preferred education PhD 27 May 2024 Posted 10 May 2024 We’re seeking a qualified Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to our project on “The Evolution of Venus: Coronae, Subsurface Structure, and Volcano-Tectonics ( HECATE )” at the University of Padova, Department of Geosciences. The successful candidate will be responsible for producing numerical models of Venus’s subsurface evolution, with a specific focus on understanding the tectonic processes associated with coronae formation. Working closely with the DLR , Berlin, the researcher will analyze the magmatic history and present-day magmatic processes on Venus. Key Responsibilities: Produce numerical models of Venus’s subsurface evolution Apply geodynamical thermal evolution models to analyze magmatic history Investigate the presence of volatiles in the Venusian subsurface Collaborate closely with the DLR , Berlin, to ensure the success of the project Requirements: PhD in Geophysics or Geosciences or related field (or about to complete) Strong background in numerical modeling and geodynamics Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team #J-18808-Ljbffr
