2 post-doctoral positions in atmospheric chemistry and dynamics
modelling, LATMOS-IPSL, Paris
Full time: 1 year initially, but renewable
Starting Date: flexible although the positions are available immediately
The role of solar variability in climate change is still a topic of
considerable scientific and societal importance. The aim of the first
project is to produce calibrated time series of solar irradiance
variations over the last 2000 years using a combination of ice-core
isotopic measurements analysis and chemistry-transport modelling
(http://volsol.cerege.fr/doku.php). The second project focuses on
identifying and quantifying mechanisms by which solar variability affect
various layers of the atmosphere and ultimately climate using
chemistry-climate modelling (http://smsc.cnes.fr/PICARD/).
The successful applicants are expected to drive modelling activities and
take responsibility for the relevant model developments and simulations.
This work will be undertaken in close collaboration with other project
partners in France and Europe. The results are expected to be presented
at national and international meetings as well as published in the
peer-reviewed literature.
Applicants should have a PhD in atmospheric science and ideally a strong
numerical modelling background. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in, at
least, two of the following areas is required: running complex model
codes, advanced knowledge of numerical modelling and statistics, skills
in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran) and graphical/mathematical
packages such as IDL and/or Matlab. Experience in operating the LMD
model is also desirable.
Interested applicants should send by e-mail a letter of interest, a CV,
and the names of three contactable referees to Slimane Bekki and Marion
Marchand (slimane.bekki@latmos.ipsl.fr, marion.marchand@latmos.ipsl.fr;
ttp://www.latmos.ipsl.fr/). Please direct informal enquiries to the same
contacts.

Within the Helmholtz graduate school HITEC we are calling for applications for the following PhD project:
On the temperature dependence of the kinetic isotope effect
Stable carbon isotopic analyses, complementary to concentration measurements, are effective tools for characterizing the sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and understanding the processes governing their distribution in the atmosphere. The average physical age of an individual VOC in the atmosphere can be determined from the observed isotopic composition, when the source isotopic composition of the VOC and the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of oxidation reactions involved in the atmospheric VOC degradation are known. A recent pilot study showed that below 273K KIE increases. Applying temperature dependent KIE has significant impacts on the interpretation of ambient observations.
In this project the KIE will be investigated as function of temperature. To this end the successful candidate will plan and conduct experiments of VOC oxidation, apply isotope mass spectrometry and interpret results with the help of chemical models. Laboratory findings will be complemented by measurements in the atmosphere. The results of this project will contribute to advance process understanding in atmospheric chemistry. The use of stable isotopes for process understanding in atmospheric research is a highly innovative field.
Requirements: Master degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics, or Atmospheric Science; Very good experimental skills; experience in physical chemistry and/or isotope mass spectrometry are helpful

Within the Helmholtz graduate school HITEC we are calling for applications for the following PhD project:
Secondary organic aerosol formation from biogenic VOCs: the influence of oxidants from anthropogenic emissions on aerosol formation
Aerosols and their direct and indirect climate effects currently pose the largest uncertainties in future projections of the climate. Up to 80% of the particulate mass is composed of organic species for which sources are to date insufficiently constraint. One question is, to what extent volatile organic compounds (VOC) from biogenic origin contribute to organic aerosol via secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. While experimental data on the oxidation by ozone and hydroxyl radicals is available, very little is known about the SOA formation from NO3 oxidation. NO3 mainly originates from anthropogenic sources such as traffic emissions.
In this project the SOA formation during the reaction of biogenic VOCs with NO3 will be investigated in the unique atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR. Biogenic VOCs from direct emissions of plants will be used and the atmospheric chemical degradation will be explored at natural concentration levels. The successful candidate will design experiments, measure VOCs and particle formation by mass spectrometric techniques, and interpret results with chemical models. With its excellent experimental equipment and infrastructure IEK-8 provides an ideal setting to significantly contribute to an improved understanding of organic aerosol.
Requirements: Master degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics, or Atmospheric Science; Very good experimental skills; experience in organic chemistry and/or mass spectrometry are helpful

Biogeochemical-Physical Oceanographer Postdoctoral Position near Paris
The LSCE (Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l?Environnment) near
Paris invites applications for a biogeochemical or physical oceanographer
to work with ocean carbon cycle modelers in its Marine Biogeochemistry
group. The successful candidate will contribute to the scientific
evaluation of results from simulations using an eddying global ocean model
(NEMO), which includes ocean biogeochemistry (PISCES). The candidate?s
research will focus on interannual variability, particularly in the
Northern Atlantic. The candidate will analyze modes of variability and
assess their cascading effects on ocean biogeochemistry. He will evaluate
the magnitude of the feedbacks on the ocean uptake of CO2 by changes in
physical processes and vertical fluxes of organic carbon. The candidate
will further contribute to the development of advanced analysis tools.
Candidates should have a background in marine biogeochemistry or physical
oceanography with experience using FORTRAN 90 and Unix. Previous
experience in analysis of ocean model output, particularly using advanced
statistical tools is highly desirable. Experience with Ferret or Python
would be appreciated. Salary depends on experience as assessed by the
French CEA. An 24-month contract is available, through the EU project
CarboChange , which focuses on quantifying sources and sinks of carbon in
the ocean. Please send a resume, a statement of research interest, and
the names of three references to Marion Gehlen, CEN Saclay, LSCE, L'Orme
des Merisiers, B?t. 712, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France (e-mail:
