Solar System research is (in recent times) a relatively new area within the IfA, beginning with my appointment in 2018. There is now a growing research group in this area. Group members are listed below. We also work with the Centre for exoplanet science and the UK Centre for astrobiology within the university. See also our occasionally updated Solar System group wiki page.
Join us! We do not currently have any specific positions advertised, but are always happy to discuss hosting post-doc fellowships etc. Possible PhD projects in comets/asteroids are also available.
