The Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in Exolife Science, understood as the overlap field between astronomy, physics, biology and chemistry, commencing the 15 August 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Description of the scientific environment
The project is part of a total of 6 new positions supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation under the Synergy project “Effects of bacteria on atmospheres of Earth, Mars, and exoplanets”, which involve staff at University of Copenhagen from the Niels Bohr Institute, the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Biology. The candidates will work as a team with the common goal of deepening our understanding of the global interactions of life with its surroundings in terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments.

Project description - “Cloud formation and cloud properties on Earth and in exoplanets”
The main goal of this project is to develop realistic self-consistent numerical models of atmospheric structure with cloud formation, and compute emergent synthetic spectra that can be compared to observed exoplanet spectra, in order to quantify potential signatures of life in the spectra. The project includes studies of how microbiology potentially affects the formation of clouds and how this can be traced in spectra of exoplanets as a potential biosignature.
