In the research group Theory of Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate at the
Institute of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences of the
Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University Frankfurt there is a vacancy for a
Research Associate (Akademische/r Rat/R?tin auf Zeit)
The initial appointment will be for three years.
Applicants should hold a PhD in meteorology, physics, applied
mathematics, fluid dynamics, astronomy or a related field. Expected is a
strong background in theory and/or modeling and a capability for
research in atmosphere dynamics. Desirable would be experience in the
theory of stochastic dynamical systems and/or with large fluid-dynamical
codes. The specific research field shall be theory and modelling of
stochastic/deterministic mesoscale and sub-mesoscale wave dynamics and
its interaction with larger-scale systems. The ultimate objective is the
improvement of the description of gravity waves in weather and climate
models.
The post offers the opportunity for further scientific qualification
within the German system (Habilitation). Within this framework a modest
participation in teaching in the meteorology program and in attracting
external funding is expected. The research activity is to be embedded
both in a national research initiative (DFG research unit) on the
multi-scale dynamics of gravity waves, and in the corresponding
international scientific community.
Some information on the research group can be found under
http://www2.uni-frankfurt.de/45681958/Theory-of-Atmospheric-Dynamics-and-Climate.
Its focus is on scale interactions in atmosphere dynamics, with
applications to large-scale low-frequency variability and to
gravity-wave dynamics. Middle-atmosphere dynamics is another field of
work. Techniques used include multi-scale asymptotics, stochastic
methods, and numerical simulation. Inquiries should be addressed to
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Achatz (achatz@iau.uni-frankfurt.de).
Applications with the usual documents (CV, diplomas, and a list of
publications) should be sent by June 15, 2014 to Prof. Dr. Ulrich
Achatz, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universit?t Frankfurt, Institut f?r
Atmosph?re und Umwelt, Altenh?ferallee 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main,
Germany. Applications will be considered beyond this date until the post
has been filled.

Location:
Centre for Isotopic Research (CIO), Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG), University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Duration: 4 years
Job description:
Atmospheric aerosols are small particles in the ambient air. They are a major source of air pollution leading to significant health risks and influence climate by interacting with radiation and clouds. The study of atmospheric aerosols and their origin and fate in the atmosphere has therefore become an active and exciting research field. The organic fraction of the aerosols is the least understood, because it contains hundreds of individual compounds, which are continuously changing in the atmosphere by chemical reactions. Isotope methods can provide new insights into sources and chemical processing of the aerosol.
In Groningen we started a new research group with a strong focus on developing isotope methods to study organic aerosols. Within this PhD project we want to study the origin and evolution of organic aerosol in the Netherlands using newly developed isotopic and chemical methods. We are looking for a PhD student to use radiocarbon (14C) analysis as a tool for source apportionment and establish stable isotope methods (primarily 13C) as a tracer for chemical reactions in the aerosol. The PhD project will include improvement of the isotope methods developed in earlier projects, ambient measurements at key field stations and laboratory experiments to study important processes in more detail. There is some flexibility with respect to individual research projects, which gives opportunity to develop your own ideas within the project framework.
Qualifications:
The most important qualifications are
? strong experimental skills
? the ability to develop scientific ideas
? good writing skills
? experience with data evaluation
We are looking for an enterprising person who is able to set and pursue goals, likes to take responsibility and enjoys working in a team. Moreover, you should have an interest in atmospheric aerosols, and like getting out from behind the desk to make measurements in different field stations.
We will give priority to candidates with prior experience in aerosol research, programming skills (preferably in Matlab, IDL, or Python), and demonstrated experience in scientific writing.
Organisation:
The University of Groningen is situated in the North of the Netherlands. Groningen is a lively university town with around 200,000 inhabitants and 50,000 students. Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative center of higher education. It is regularly placed among the top 100 Universities worldwide (http://www.rug.nl/about-us/where-do-we-stand/rankings).
The PhD position is available in the Centre for Isotopic Research (CIO). The CIO has at its disposition an accelerator mass spectrometer for radiocarbon measurements, as well as several other mass spectrometers for stable isotope measurements. Aerosol instrumentation includes an EC/OC analyzer and the possibility to use an aerosol PTR-ToF-MS for chemical analysis. The institute also manages its own coastal field station (Lutjewad), and has access to the regional measurement station in Cabauw, both of which can be used for aerosol sampling and measurements.

Conditions of employment:
The University of Groningen offers a minimum salary of ? 2,083 gross a month in the first year to a maximum of ? 2,664 gross a month in the final year, based on a full-time position (1.0 fte). The position is limited to a period of 4 years. The first year constitutes a probationary period, with an evaluation of the candidate's performance after the first year. The objective of this evaluation is to establish whether the candidate will be able to finish a PhD thesis in the remaining three years. If the performance evaluation is positive, the candidate's contract will be extended by another 3 years, for a total of 4 years.
Application:
The position will remain open until filled. To be considered for this position, please submit your application before 1 June 2014. The application should contain
a curriculum vitae
a letter of motivation
academic records
the contact information for 3 academic references
Please submit your application via the university website:
