research at the Space Research Institute (IWF) in Graz.

The Space Research Institute (IWF) is involved in about 20 missions led by the world's main space agencies.

The disk group will focus on connecting astrochemistry with planet formation, and to link those theories to

both astronomical and solar system observations, and here links to current and future observational

campaigns with IWF contribution are highly desirable.

1. astrochemistry in protoplanetary disks,

2. observation of protoplanetary disks and solar system bodies,

3. links to the early solar system, planet formation, meteorites, and geology,

4. future mission involvement and project management.

space-borne instruments and in-situ solar system exploration missions are to be compared to modelling

concerning, for example, the ionisation and the evolution of the chemical composition of the gas in the disk,

suitable ESA L, M, and F space missions are to be identified, and supported by personal involvement in the

international teams leading them.

The applicant must hold a PhD in Physics, Geophysics, Astrophysics, or a related field. The appointment is
