Ph.D. work: Nighttime radical chemistry in the atmosphere
Advertising institute: IEK-8 - Troposphere
Reference number: D055/2016, Physics, chemistry, environmental sciences
The Institute for Energy and Climate Research, Troposphere (IEK-8), investigates the chemical and physical processes in the troposphere that impact the chemical composition of the atmosphere. We are seeking for a new Ph.D. student (physics, chemistry, environmental sciences) in the working group "Radicals and Photochemistry". The Ph.D work will be done within a three-year program of the Graduate School HITEC.
Tasks:
Organic compounds in the atmosphere are chemically transformed and eventually removed out of the atmosphere. The oxidation agents OH, HO2 are photochemically formed, so that the oxidation efficiency mostly scales with the intensity of the solar radiation. However, also the photo-labile nitrate radical is responsible for the oxidation of trace gases in the atmosphere. Short-lived free radical (OH, HO2, NO3) are challenging to detect and concurrent measurements of all radicals during different seasons are sparse. Therefore, the relative importance of the different oxidation mechanisms in the atmosphere are not well constrained. In the context of a larger project at IEK-8, the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere will be quantified during different seasons. Experiments will be done in the atmosphere simulation chamber SAPHIR at IEK-8, in which the chemical transformation of ambient air will be investigated. The focus of this work will be the execution and interpretation of nitrate radical measurements within this project. A prototype instrument based on cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy for the detection of nitrate radicals exists, but needs further development for routine measurements at the chamber. Regular quality assurance of the instrument's performance will be required during the year-long measurements. The evaluation of experiments are done by looking at the chemical budget and by comparing measurements with model calculations, in order to improve the prediction of secondary atmospheric pollutants.
Requirements:
* Master degree in physics, chemistry, environmental sciences or a related field
* Profound knowledge of laser spectroscopy
We offer:
* An exciting, inter-disciplinary team work
* Excellent scientific environment and technical facilities
* Broad spectrum of training in the Graduate School HITEC (http://www.hitec-graduate-school.de/) and the Forschungszentrum
* Payment und social benefits based on the labour agreement of the public sector employment (TVöD)

Ph.D. work: New instrument for the detection of atmospheric trace gases with chemical ionization mass spectrometry
Advertising institute: IEK-8 - Troposphere
Reference number: D056/2016, Physics, chemistry, environmental sciences
The Institute for Energy and Climate Research, Troposphere (IEK-8), investigates the chemical and physical processes in the troposphere that impact the chemical composition of the atmosphere. We are seeking for a new Ph.D. student (physics, chemistry, environmental sciences) in the working group "Radicals and Photochemistry". The Ph.D. work will be done within a three-year program of the Graduate School HITEC.
Tasks:
The majority of organic compounds in the atmosphere are emitted by plants. Within an EU ERC-Grant project at IEK-8 their photochemical transformation is being investigated. Because of the challenging detection of short-lived radicals that are responsible for these processes one focus of the Ph.D. work will be the development of new instrumental methods based on chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS). The second focus of the work will be experiments at the unique atmosphere simulation chamber SAPHIR at IEK-8 to investigate the photochemical degradation of organic species up to the level of real plant emissions. The planning and execution of experiments require a high level of teamwork, because the interpretation of the complex chemical processes is only possible by involving a large number of other measurements. The evaluation of experiments are done by looking at the chemical budget and by comparing measurements with model calculations, in order to improve the prediction of secondary atmospheric pollutants.
Requirements:
* Master degree in physics, chemistry, environmental sciences or a related field
* Profound knowledge of laser spectroscopy
