The Institute of Planetary Research at the German Aerospace Center
(DLR) in Berlin invites applications for a postdoc position within the
framework of a DLR junior research group. The group investigates the
thermochemical evolution of Mars and Venus and employs an
interdisciplinary approach that combines large-scale geodynamical
models of thermal evolution with petrological and geological datasets.
The successful candidate will combine geomorphological analysis of the
Martian surface with modeling of the subsurface thermal environment of
Mars. The goal of the project is to collect a large and diverse dataset
about the geomorphology, spectroscopy and mineralogy of the Martian
surface. These data, combined with results from large-scale
geodynamical models of the Martian interior, will be applied to
interpret the evolution and present-day state of the subsurface
environment of Mars. In particular, this work will be used to provide
constraints on the past and present-day distribution of potential
subsurface water on Mars and to identify possible habitable regions in
the Martian subsurface.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in Planetary Science, Geology,
Geophysics or closely related field.
