The Institute of Remote Sensing and Environmental Physics (IFE/IUP) at
the University of Bremen, offers a PhD position -- financial approval
provided -- for a limited time of three years (German pay scale E13 TV-L
at 50%) for the following topic:
*Aircraft measurements of trace gas distributions with an imaging DOAS
instrument*
The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) at the University of Bremen
performs measurements of atmospheric trace gases from different
platforms since 1993. An important physical measurement technique is the
Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS). Recently, an
imaging DOAS (iDOAS) instrument has been developed at the IUP, which
enables amongst other capabilities airborne measurements of, e.g.
tropospheric nitrogen dioxide, NO2.
In the scope of this project, the iDOAS instrument shall be developed
further and applied for the measurement of spatial distributions of
tropospheric trace gases from aircraft. The data are supposed to be
interpreted with respect to exchange and transport processes. The tasks
within this project comprise the optimization of the instrument, the
planning and realization of measurement campaigns, as well as the
analysis and interpretation of the measured data. The project is linked
to national and international research activities.
Requirements for this position:
. Scientific Degree (Diploma or Master of Science in Physics,
Environmental Physics or Meteorology)
. Interest in the conduction of measurement campaigns
. Good knowledge of at least one advanced programming language
. Good knowledge of German and/or English language (written and spoken)
. Good knowledge in the following areas are advantageous: optics and
spectroscopy, computer based device control, physics and chemistry of
the atmosphere, meteorology, Earth remote sensing
The IUP provides a stimulating work environment, as well as direct
involvement in international research.
Further information can be found on the web site of the institute:
http://www.iup.physik.uni-bremen.de. Information about the DOAS working
group as well as the iDOAS instrument can be found here:
http://www.doas-bremen.de and http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/doas/idoas.htm.
The University of Bremen strives to increase the number of females in
science and therefore encourages women to apply.
Handicapped applicants will be preferred over other applicants in case
of equal qualifications. Applications by people with a migrant
background are particularly welcome.
Please send your applications in electronic form including standard
documents (letter of motivation, CV, copies of degree certificates,
employment certificates if applicable, references) and mentioning the
job ID A201/12 until the 31.10.2012 to:

A PhD position is available at Utrecht University in the Netherlands as
part of the MEDGATE project.
The MEDGATE project is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network with a total
of 9 PhD positions and one post-doc position based in the UK, Spain and the
Netherlands. There are also Industrial and Academic Partners in France,
Morocco, Spain and the UK.
The available position is for a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher for 36
months and is available for an immediate start if possible, but ideally the
candidate must be able to take up the position by December 2012. The
applicant must have a Masters degree in geology, geophysics, oceanography
or physics. The successful candidate must be interested in, and capable of,
tackling a geological problem by applying physics and modeling.
This project has two components: (1) the mechanism of the
Mediterranean-Atlantic exchange through time and (2) the role of tectonics
and induced vertical motions.
Please see the website http://www.eu-medgate.net for further details about
the project, eligibility rules, salary, who to contact and how to apply.

PhD Research Project
Modeling Study of the Cloud-Aerosol Interaction
The School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, UK, is seeking applications for a 3-year PhD studentship.
Entry requirements/necessary background: A BSc degree in physics, engineering or a related area is required, with an MSc degree giving an advantage.
Required skills: experience in using FORTRAN or C, and analysis packages such as MATLAB, is needed. Fluency in maths and statistics is essential. Some knowledge of atmospheric science and general physics is needed.
Research topic:
The linkage between aerosol particles and cloud properties is crucial to treat in atmospheric models when projecting future changes in climate. Particulate aerosol pollution increases the amount of sunlight reflected to space globally from clouds. It can alter the precipitation production of clouds and their latent heating. Continental aerosols can modify the intensity of systems of severe weather, such as hurricanes and other tropical cyclones.
In this project, clouds? dependencies on aerosol conditions of chemistry and loading will be treated in a hierarchy of cloud models and large-scale models. Focus will be given to influences from aerosol pollution on glaciated clouds. The aim is to represent this linkage better in the large-scale models used for climate studies.
The project will benefit the community by allowing more accurate prediction of severe weather and climate change. Hail, intense precipitation, lightning and hurricane intensity are all aspects of severe weather, with broad socio-economic impacts and with physical dependencies on aerosol properties of the environment.
Funding: The student will receive a stipend approximately at the level of similar funding by UK research councils (13590 GBP per year) and will not pay any tuition fees.
