The planetary geodynamics group led by Prof. Dr. Lena Noack uses computational models to characterize planetary processes that impact the long-term evolution of the planetary interior coupled to the surface and atmosphere of rocky planets within and beyond the solar system. The planned position is offered at the Freie Universität Berlin, Institute of Geological Sciences, in Berlin, Germany. To support the working group, we are looking for a Student assistant (41 hours/month)

Job description:
Main tasks:
- Summarizing and presenting the working group's scientific projects on our website.
- various smaller scientific tasks to support the research projects of the working group by means of numerical simulations and visualizations.

Supportive tasks:
- Support in general tasks of the Planetary Geodynamics Working Group, for example outreach events, event organization, maintenance of the website and publication data of the working group.
 
Desirable:
- experience in editing websites
- experience in programming (especially Fortran and Python)
- studies in a science degree program (BSc or MSc), preferably in planetary sciences
- basic knowledge or strong interest in planetology and geodynamic modeling
- english skills (B2)
- the ability to work independently
