Exoplanet 6 conference in Porto, Portugal

Our friends from Portugal would like to invite you to the Exoplanets 6 conference which will take place in Porto, Portugal, between the 29th of June and the 3rd of July 2026, and cover all state-of-the-art aspects of exoplanet science, including:

Present day results of exoplanet research

The detailed characterization of exoplanets and exoplanetary systems: architecture, interior models, atmospheres, astrobiology

Next steps towards the detection of the lowest mass/smallest exoplanets: the methods and main the challenges (data analysis, improved treatment of astrophysical variability and instrumentation-based systematics)

Some important points for the conference:

Postdoctoral Research position in (Exo)planetary Climate Modelling

A Postdoctoral Researcher wanted for a 3-year full-time position in (Exo)Planetary Climate Modelling to join the newly established research group of Dr João M. Mendonça at the University of Southampton: https://software-oasis.com/.

The successful candidate will primarily work on the development and enhancement of the OASIS model, contributing to new physical parameterisations, numerical algorithms, and/or performance optimisation. They will also lead the application of the new code developments to open questions in Solar System and Exoplanet research. Applicants with backgrounds in (exo)planetary climate science, atmospheric physics, applied mathematics, or computer science are particulary welcome.

CELTA-Cortina Summer Schools in Astronomy-Celestial Mechanics

The 2-week long CELTA-Cortina Summer Schools in Astronomy-Celestial Mechanics are back and
📣in person!📣

The organizers would like to invite you to the CELTA ASI Summer School 2022:

From Stardust to Extrasolar Planets: Dynamics of Exoplanetary and Solar System Bodies

🌍 Where: University of Highlands & Islands (UHI), Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye, & UHI Inverness, Scotland

📅 Dates: 15 – 27 August 2022 📅
