Space Science jobs

Design, test and analyse instruments measuring energetic particles in space. The appointment combines space-plasma research with laboratory testing, calibration and support for flight instrumentation.

Establish a faculty research programme through Berkeley's broad physics search. Stated areas include space and solar-plasma physics, gravitational waves and black-hole science.

Study temperate terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres and potential signs of life for the LIFE mission. Research includes atmospheric retrieval, alternative biospheres and abiotic explanations, and translating modelling results into science and instrument requirements.

Study temperate terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres and potential signs of life within the LIFE mission research programme. The doctoral work contributes to assessing what mid-infrared observations can reveal about habitable worlds.

Join the High-Energy Astrophysics group led by Kirpal Nandra to study galaxy clusters and cosmology, active galactic nuclei, accreting compact objects, transients or hot diffuse gas. Research draws on major X-ray programmes including eROSITA and Einstein Probe. The three-year positions are available immediately and are paid according to TVöD, up to E14…

Model the internal structure and long-term development of sub-Neptune planets. This postdoctoral research sits within an interdisciplinary programme examining planetary environments and the emergence of life.

Schmidt Sciences is recruiting an inaugural cohort of postdoctoral fellows to help design, calibrate and operate a coordinated system of ground- and space-based observatories. Fellows will work across scientific simulation, instrument performance, AI-assisted analysis, data systems, time-domain astronomy and mission design while producing publishable…
