STUDENT OR POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER POSITION AT UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA, FAIRBANKS A group of scientists and engineers at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, is seeking a Ph.D. student or a postdoctoral researcher who can join the team by August 2025. Using terrestrial analogs and modeling, we are investigating the possible effects of the Venusian atmosphere on a surface seismometer. Candidates with experiences in field experiment data collection and management; data analysis and visualization; and numerical simulations of seismic and wind waveforms are encouraged to apply. For the Ph.D. student position, a B.S. or M.S. degree in the Geosciences or a branch of Engineering is required. Research experience and publications are positively considered. The student will be in the Interdisciplinary Studies Ph.D. program and will be financially supported for 3+ years. For the postdoctoral position, a Ph.D. degree in the Geosciences or Engineering is required. Past research experience studying wind and its effects is particularly desirable. This is a 2+ year position in the Institute of Northern Engineering. For more information contact Dr. Il-Sang Ahn (ahn.ilsang@alaska.edu) or Dr. Robert Herrick (rrherrick@alaska.edu). 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE AT LUNAR AND PLANETARY LABORATORY, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at University of Arizona. Research efforts will focus on models of resolved convection and evolution of sub-stellar worlds alongside the development of a Python training course in collaboration with Cal-Bridge (calbridge.org).

Planetary science covers impacts, volcanism and tectonism, atmospheric, sedimentary, and hydrologic processes, regolith formation, potential biosignatures and habitability. New frontiers include materials for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), such as ice and critical minerals, which are crucial for supporting future human habitation on other worlds. Through this expanded lens, geoscientists can explore not only Earth's unique attributes but also the geological and material diversity across our Solar System, contributing to advancements in both science of planetary environments and commercial space exploration. GSA also welcomes proposals for field trips and short courses. 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 ICE GIANT SYSTEMS SEMINAR SERIES: JANUARY 14, DR.

We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics including results from mission data, lab experiements, modelling and theoretical developments. Please see the link below for more details on the session. Abstract submission deadline: 15 January 2025 https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/52103 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 EGU2025 PS1.7: ATMOSPHERES, EXOSPHERES, AND SURFACES OF TERRESTRIAL PLANETS, SATELLITES, SMALL BODIES, AND EXOPLANETS Abstract submission is open for EGU 2025, held in Vienna on 27 April - 2 May 2025 and online. The deadline for the abstract submission is 15 January 2025, 13:00 CET. I would like to draw your attention to our session: Atmospheres, exospheres, and surfaces of terrestrial planets, satellites, small bodies, and exoplanets. This session primarily focuses on neutral atmospheres, surfaces, and exospheres of terrestrial bodies other than the Earth. This includes not only Venus and Mars, but also exoplanets with comparable envelopes, small bodies and satellites carrying dense atmospheres such as Titan, exospheres such as Ganymede, or with a surface directly exposed to space like asteroids. We welcome contributions dealing with processes affecting the atmospheres of these bodies, from the surface to the exosphere. We invite abstracts concerning observations, both from Earth or from space, modeling and theoretical studies, or laboratory work. Comparative planetology abstracts will be particularly appreciated.
