Job Title: Applications are invited for PhD positions at NISER Bhubaneswar
Job Category(s) : PhD
Job Description : Can other stars have Earth-like planets with atmospheres? What can we learn about Earth from studying other planets? Are we alone in the universe? Answering these age-old questions requires a monumental interdisciplinary effort that brings together astronomers, astrophysicists, planetary scientists, and geoscientists, including observers, theorists, data scientists, and experimentalists.

The School of Earth & Planetary Sciences (SEPS) is a unique, vibrant, and interdisciplinary department at NISER Bhubaneswar. Students and faculty at SEPS work on various exciting and cutting-edge areas of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Planetary Science, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, all under the same roof. The current focus areas of research include exoplanet detection and atmospheric characterization, planet formation, astrochemistry, and astrobiology, application of machine learning in space sciences, experimental cosmochemistry/laboratory astrophysics, planetary surface processes, planetary interior physics, atmospheric physics, geosciences including geochemistry, geodynamics, and geophysics, as well as exo-geosciences.

Applications are invited from motivated students for various PhD positions in SEPS at NISER.
