3) Call for Membership in the Target Identification and Comet Environment Working Groups for the Comet Interceptor mission
Comet Interceptor is an ESA mission in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It aims to characterise a long period comet, which could potentially be a
dynamically new comet, or an interstellar object. The mission was adopted by the Science Programme Committee in June 2022 as the first "F" mission in the Science Programme.
A Science Working Team (SWT), appointed by ESA in coordination with JAXA, advises ESA on all aspects of the mission potentially affecting its scientific performance. The composition
of the SWT is defined in the Science Management Plan (SMP). The SWT is supported by Working Groups (WGs), in specific scientific and/or science operation areas, relevant for the
mission.
Through the present Call, the ESA Director of Science invites scientists based in ESA Member States and Japan to apply for membership of two Comet Interceptor working groups: the "Target Identification Working Group" and the "Comet Environment Working Group". The latter group will be organised in three sub-groups: Comet Nucleus, Near-environment (inner dust and gas coma), and Far environment (outer dust and gas coma and tails).
Lead Scientists and Co-Lead Scientists of the Comet Interceptor instruments, other scientists leading or involved in the (programmatic, scientific, or technical) management of the Comet Interceptor instruments or being responsible for hardware or software development and procurement activities, as well as other Science Working Team members, are not eligible, while Co-Investigators of instrument teams may apply to become members of the Working Groups.
Early career scientists are specifically encouraged to apply.
Full details of this Call can be found in the Call for Membership in the Target Identification and Comet Environment Working Groups for the Comet Interceptor mission document.
Application Submission
Applications, in PDF format, must be submitted using the submission form linked below, before the deadline of 7 November 2022, 12:00 (noon) CET.

7) Postdoc JWST CNES – Appel à sujets
Le CNES souhaite soutenir les équipes françaises impliquées dans l’exploitation scientifique du temps ouvert de la mission JWST (General Observer Program, ou GO, voir CALLS FOR PROPOSALS AND POLICY (stsci.edu)) en finançant chaque année deux post-doctorats (d’une durée de deux ans chacun). Le CNES lance donc la procédure pour la sélection d’un premier postdoc. Un appel pour un second postdoc sera mis en place dans un an environ, puis renouvelé chaque année en phase avec les appels du programme GO JWST.
L'appel à sujets est ouvert à toute la communauté scientifique française, selon les modalités suivantes :
1) Chaque équipe proposante devra fournir un document de 3 pages maximum décrivant le projet scientifique : Nom et/ou numéro de référence du programme GO obtenu, contexte, objectifs visés, étapes du projet, méthodologies envisagées, ainsi que la liste des personnes impliquées dans le projet. Le document devra être envoyé au plus tard le 09/11/2022 à minuit à Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser..
2) Les propositions seront examinées en novembre par un comité ad’hoc comprenant un représentant des Programmes Nationaux concernés (PNCG, PCMI, PNPS, PNP) et le Président du Groupe Astronomie-Astrophysique du CNES. Ce comité sélectionnera 1 sujet.
3) Le résultat de la sélection sera transmis aux proposants fin novembre au plus tard. Le CNES mettra le budget nécessaire en place auprès de l’organisme de tutelle. L’équipe sélectionnée organisera librement son processus de recherche et de sélection de candidat.e, avec l’objectif de le conclure dans les 3 mois qui suivront l’annonce de la sélection du sujet.
Remarques importantes:
L'excellence scientifique est un critère majeur. Les proposants devront notamment démontrer l'intérêt du projet, en termes de résultats attendus et d'originalité.
Ce soutien spécifique du CNES pour JWST est distinct et indépendant des allocations postdoctorales que le CNES attribue chaque année à de jeunes chercheurs sur la base de l'excellence de leur candidature. Ces deux processus – soutien au projet JWST et allocations postdoctorales – ne sont d'ailleurs pas mutuellement exclusifs.

8) Appel d'offre "Post-Doc Fellowships" du programme d'excellence ClerVolc à l'Université Clermont Auvergne:
The ClerVolc consortium consists of five laboratories of University Clermont Auvergne (Laboratories of Earth Science "Magmas and Volcanoes", Meteorology, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science) and an Earth Physics Observatory. Its objective is to carry out multi-disciplinary research and development related to volcanism. The research themes are broad and include eruption processes, products and hazards, dispersion of tephra as plumes and flows, evolution of volcanic edifices, role of volatiles in magmatic activity, processes and timescales, mantle melting and magma production at depth, and the origin of volcanism and the Early Earth. With more than twelve years of activity, ClerVolc has acquired world-class instruments, developed original know-how and conducted outstanding researches.
The consortium is seeking candidates for postdoctoral projects. Proposals involving any aspects of volcanic science (geology, petrology, high-P-T experimentation, geochemistry, mathematics, meteorology, physics, computer science, data science) are of interest, as are developments of new approaches for tackling fundamental questions. Interdisciplinary proposals are not essential, but are encouraged.
Applicants are invited to develop and propose their own projects in association with one or more of the partner laboratories. They are advised to familiarize themselves with the research and instrumental capabilities of the different laboratories (listed under "consortium" at https://clervolc.uca.fr/), which they can use for their own researches. They can contact the ClerVolc director and/or any of responsible of the seven ClerVolc thematic programs for more details on our Fellowship program.
Proposals should be written in English and sent as a single pdf file by email to the ClerVolc director (Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser.) by 15 December 2022. They should consist of (1) a CV and publication list (max 3 pages), (2) an account of past research (max 3 pages), (3) pdfs of three publications, (4) the research proposal (max 5 pages) with references and a consumables/field budget attached as annexes, and (5) a letter of support from one or more members of the ClerVolc partner laboratories. Candidates should also ask two referees to send letters of recommendation by the deadline to the same email address. Short-listed candidates may be interviewed online early 2023, and attributions will be announced soon after. Contracts can start between April and October 2023 according to the wishes of the applicant and her/his collaborators.
Each fellowship is supported for 24 months and includes a research allowance (based on the proposal but modified according to available funds). The gross annual salary will be the Junior/Senior Post-Doctoral Allocation fixed by our University, depending on the candidate experience; it includes the classical French benefits package (health insurance plus retirement and unemployment benefits). Candidates must have successfully defended their PhD by the application deadline; they do not need to speak French.
We note another call of our International Research Center of Disaster science and sustainable development, where postdoctoral candidates working in the field of volcanic hazard/risk may wish to apply. Only oneproject should be submitted and we will eventually redirect it to the most appropriate call.

9) PhD position in the Université de Reims Champagne Ardenne / GSMA
Interplay of haze and clouds in Titan’s atmosphere.
Titan, the largest of Saturn’s satellites, is unique among the moons of our solar system because it possesses a thick atmosphere (surface pressure of ~1.5 bar). Titan’s atmosphere is a rich organic laboratory leading to the formation of complex molecules, hazes and clouds. The Cassini-Huygens mission (2004-2017) explored Titan’s atmosphere and revealed its complexity as well as its dynamical evolution over the passing of its seasons. Hazes formed in the upper atmosphere (~1000 km) from the complex N2-CH4 photochemistry, aggregate to fractal-type structures on their way to the surface. Hazes have a strong impact on the radiation field in the atmosphere, while they partake in the formation of clouds in the lower stratosphere (~150 km) due to the condensation of the gaseous photochemical products. Cassini observations reveal that the cloud composition can vary drastically depending on latitude and season, due to local changes in temperature and condensates. Moreover, heterogeneous processes on the surface of hazes and clouds are poorly understood, while the role of cosmic rays in cloud formation requires further attention. The goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of haze and cloud coupling at different regions of Titan’s atmosphere, by combining detailed models of photochemistry/microphysics with input from laboratory experiments and constraints from Cassini observations. The thesis is funded in the framework of the ANR project TITARAD and will be conducted at the Groupe de Spectrométrie Moléculaire et Atmosphérique of the Université de Reims Champagne Ardenne in France, under the supervision of Panayotis Lavvas.
We seek a highly motivated candidate with an MSc degree, having a strong background in physical sciences and numerical simulations. Background in astronomy/astrophysics is welcomed.
Candidates are encouraged to apply by November 15th, 2022, but later applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. The start date of the thesis is flexible, but within the first trimester of 2023.
To apply, or for further details, contact Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser.. Candidates should provide a CV and a cover letter.
