Columbia University’s Astrophysics Laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to perform laboratory simulations of solar wind ion irradiation of Mercury’s regolith surface. The successful candidate will join the group headed by Senior Research Scientist Dr. Daniel Wolf Savin; they will participate in designing, building, and performing experiments utilizing a novel ion beam apparatus to study the spectral changes and sputtering yields of regolith-like loose powders.

The appointment is initially for one year, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years; this is contingent upon the availability of funds and mutual satisfaction.
