Postdoc: Planetary Cryospheric Geophysics & Ice Dielectrics

Università degli Studi Roma Tre; Roma; On-site; EUR 32,000 - 42,000; Full time

Job summary

Università degli Studi Roma Tre invites applications for a three-year Postdoctoral position funded by the ERC Advanced Grant SWIM (Surfing Radio Waves to Detect Liquid Water in the Solar System). The project aims to study dielectric properties of materials in icy shells of Jovian satellites and to establish how liquid water signatures can be detected with radio waves.

The successful candidate will contribute to the design, construction and testing of a multi-system setup to measure ice

Responsibilities

• Design, construct and test a multi-system setup to measure ice dielectric properties across multiple frequency bands.
• Assess structural characteristics of ice samples produced in the measuring cells using microtomography analysis.
