The postdoctoral researcher will develop novel instrument techniques based on IR heterodyne remote sensing, nano-photonics, and photonic integrated circuits. Our objective is to enable new measurement capabilities for studying planetary chemistry, habitability, astrobiology, and climate evolution.

Researchers in exoplanetary science are strongly encouraged to apply as well. We are developing a coupled ocean-rock-atmosphere chemistry model for extrasolar planets and welcome applicants to conduct research in habitability evolution and biosignatures for exoplanets.
