year Postdoc position in Constraining aerosols in Earth system models using novel satellite observations
Aarhus Universitet
The Department of Environmental Science at Aarhus University, Roskilde, invites applications for a 2-year position as Postdoc in Earth system modelling to strengthen the research capacity at the department. The position is to be filled by January 1st, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is subject to negotiation.Department of Environmental ScienceThe is an interdisciplinary department under the Faculty of Technical Sciences at Aarhus University. The expertise of the department ranges from physics, chemistry, microbiology, social science, geography, economics, to policy analysis. Basic as well as applied research are conducted on some of the major challenges facing society, such as pollution and pollution control mechanisms, management of land, soil, water, air and biodiversity, protection of ecosystem services, and climate change. Advisory services within these areas are offered to ministries and other authorities. Currently, about 140 staff, postdocs and PhD students are working at the department. The department believes in values of equality, diversity, and inclusion, and creating an attractive work/life balance. Further information can be found at .
The selected candidate will be affiliated with the in the group of atmospheric modelling. The research in the section is targeted towards an understanding of the fundamental atmospheric processes: transport, chemical transformation, dispersion, and deposition of air pollutants. The group develops, tests, and applies global to local-scale air pollution models, that integrate with environmental and health impacts, socio-economic impacts and climate change. The aim is to provide the state-of-the-art capacity in Denmark for research, development, application, teaching, and decision support within the area of climate and air pollution modelling, as well as integrated environmental and health assessment modelling.
Expertise within the Group of Atmospheric Modelling includes:
Description of the position:The selected candidate will work in frame of the European Union Horizon Europe funded CleanCloud (Clouds and climate transitioning to post-fossil aerosol regime: ) project, which aims to improve knowledge on aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) and its representation in state-of-the-art regional to global climate models, to quantify and understand regional and temporal effects of ACI-related processes and how they will evolve in the transition to the post-fossil regime, characterized by reductions in anthropogenic aerosols.
The candidate is expected to:
Qualifications/profile:The position requires a background in meteorology, physics, geophysics, mathematical modelling, chemistry, engineering, or related disciplines. Qualifications within research-based development, testing and application of atmospheric models are expected. Experience in Earth system modelling, with studies of physical/chemical processes in relation to atmospheric aerosols, data assimilation, and machine learning methods will be highly desirable. Experience in development and use of EC-Earth (European Community Earth System Model) in relation to aerosols and clouds will be highly desirable. Programming skills in Fortran are required and others are desirable, like e.g. Python and/or R. The candidate is expected to be enthusiastic about working in an interdisciplinary academic environment. The position requires a highly motivated researcher who is comfortable with teamwork, with good communication skills.
