The Exoplanet Group at DTU Space at the Technical University of Denmark, situated in the greater Copenhagen area, invites applications from highly qualified individuals for a postdoctoral position of three-year duration in atmospheric characterization of terrestrial, super-Earth, and sub-Neptune type exoplanets.
You will work with Prof. Lars A. Buchhave and Dr. Alexander Rathcke in the rapidly growing Exoplanet Group at DTU Space. Our group leads JWST programs and has had multiple proposals accepted from our group (GO 2420, GO 3730, GO 7675). Through international collaborations, we are also deeply involved in several other JWST programs. As a result, you will have access to JWST data and data from other world-class observatories, including access to ESO facilities. Ongoing projects also include work pertaining to the ESA Ariel Mission (co-PI Buchhave, https://arielmission.space). Additional information about the Exoplanet Group at DTU Space can be found at http://www.exoplanets.dk.
Responsibilities and qualifications
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated researcher to work at the forefront of exoplanet atmospheric science with JWST. The postdoc will be involved with the analysis and interpretation of JWST data (new data and/or public archival data) for terrestrial and sub-Neptune exoplanets, including transmission and emission spectroscopy (e.g., from JWST/NIRSpec and JWST/MIRI) with the goal of advancing our understanding of the environments and atmospheres of small planets (terrestrial, super-Earth, and sub-Neptunes).
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
Application procedure
Your complete online application must be submitted by Friday, 9 January 2026 (23:59 Danish time).
