Fully Funded PhD Positions in Foundation Models for Scientific Discovery and AI Applications University of Geneva in Switzerland

Multiple fully funded PhD positions are available in the FUNDIS (Foundation Models for Scientific Discovery) project at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. FUNDIS is a multidisciplinary research initiative focused on the next generation of AI methods for scientific discovery. The project combines modern foundation models with domain sciences, creating a research environment that spans machine learning, scientific reasoning, and applications in several major disciplines. Research topics incl...

The University of Bern is advertising a fully funded PhD position in Planetary Science within the Space Research and Planetary Sciences division. The project focuses on how impacts and sublimation shape the surfaces of comets and other icy bodies , with particular attention to impact craters , surface morphology, and long-term landscape evolution. The research combines laboratory experiments on crater sublimation with numerical modelling of landscape evolution over billion-year timescales. The s...

The Climate and Environmental Physics Division at the University of Bern is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position in Climate Science , with a strong focus on Earth system modeling and the impacts of catastrophic events on the planet’s climate and biosphere. The project examines how major disturbances such as massive volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts influence Earth’s climate, atmospheric composition, carbon cycle, and biosphere across different stages of Earth history. The...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Planetary Science , Geophysics , Astronomy , and Earth Sciences at the University of Geneva in collaboration with ETH Zürich . The project is part of the NCCR Genesis Programme and focuses on how rocky planets evolve over billions of years, especially how a planet’s interior and atmosphere interact over deep time. The research will involve advanced numerical modelling of coupled planetary evolution, integrating the G-PCM climate model with the StagYY mantle convec...

Postdoctoral position in exoplanet atmospheres at the University of Bern This is a fully funded postdoc in the Space Research and Planetary Sciences group at the University of Bern, Switzerland, working on the atmospheres of transiting sub-Neptunes. The project is part of the SNSF-funded Exo-Neptune Census starting grant led by Assistant Professor Hugh Osborn. The research focuses on population-level analysis of sub-Neptune radii, masses, and atmospheres to understand the formation, composition,...
