About the Position
Planetary magnetism is a fundamental and yet imperfectly understood process that is related to the deep internal structure and thermal evolution of planets. Computer modeling is an important tool to help advance our understanding of the thermal and magnetic histories and futures of rocky planets in our solar system and beyond. UTIG seeks a postdoctoral scholar who can contribute to ongoing work to better characterize the physical and chemical conditions required to drive and sustain core dynamos inside rocky planets and/or to help investigate what remanent crustal magnetization can tell us about the magnetic histories of these bodies.
