The Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research at the KIT offers a
Ph.D. student position
funded according to TVöD (75 %) for a period of 3 years
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is one of the largest research
facilities in Europe with more than 9000 employees. The Institute of
Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK) employs ~200 scientists in four
departments, covering research fields from biosphere-atmosphere gas
exchange, tropospheric meteorology, aerosol and cloud physics to trace gas
budgets and dynamics from the troposphere up to the mesosphere.
The group Tropopause (TOP) at the IMK is particularly interested in the
budgets of trace gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
(UTLS), a region which plays an essential role in controlling climate on
Earth. We develop in-situ instruments for deploying them on board passenger
and research aircraft. One project is on the German research aircraft HALO
(High Altitude and LOng Range operated by the German Aerospace Centre) which
is an exciting and challenging platform.
The upcoming HALO mission EMeRGe (Effect of Megacities on the Transport and
Transformation of Pollutants on the Regional to Global Scales) is headed by
IUP (Institute of Environmental Physics, University of Bremen) and funded by
the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Objective of EMeRGe is to study
the pollution outflow and its chemical transformation from major population
centres (MPCs). The mission is divided into two phases taking place at the
DLR (Germany) in July 2017 and in Asia (presumably Taipeh) in April 2018.
Within the framework of EMeRGe we are looking for a
Ph.D. Student (m/f)
in the field of atmospheric chemistry and global pollution. The successful
applicant will supervise a Proton-Transfer-Reactions Mass Spectrometer
(PTR-MS) during EMeRGe, which was developed in our group over the last
years. The PTR-MS measures volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetone
or methanol, both emitted from vegetation and anthropogenic activity. These
species are, although being present in very low concentrations, directly
linked to the formation of ozone and radicals. The work will focus on the
characterization of VOC emissions from MPCs. One aim is to identify
differences and commonalities in the transport and transformation of the
plumes from European and Asian MPCs. The gathered data shall also be
compared with model results from the new model ICON, in collaboration with
the model group at the IMK.
Job description: The work consists of three work packages, i.e. (1) building
up a calibration unit for VOCs and characterizing the PTR-MS in the
laboratory before EMeRGe, (2) Deployment of the PTR-MS during the two HALO
missions EMeRGe in Germany and Asia, and (3) Analyzing and interpreting the
gathered data (also with support from the atmosphere model ICON) and
publishing the findings in ISI-referenced journals.
Requirements: The position involves multi-disciplinary research with a high
degree of work autonomy and the use of the latest technical equipment. You
are a curious and adventurous mind with an above-average master degree or
equivalent in physics, chemistry or meteorology. You should have a basic
knowledge of atmospheric chemistry and programming skills in Matlab or in
programming languages such as C, C++, or Python. Ideally, you have already
gained experience with Proton-Transfer-Reactions Mass Spectrometry or with
some other mass spectrometric technique. You should have a strong teamwork
spirit, strong communication and organizational skills and an ability to
effectively communicate results of scientific research to project members
and international colleagues.
Qualification: Diploma or Master degree in physics, chemistry, meteorology
or a related discipline
Salary: Remuneration is 50% above the Ph.D. standard scale (75% of TVöD-13).
Institute/Department: Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK)

The Met Office is the UK's internationally-renowned national weather and climate service. We have been providing world-leading weather forecasts for more than 150 years and our public services are a part of the everyday life for the British public.
Everything the Met Office does is underpinned by world-class weather and climate science. Our leading edge capabilities assist the UK and the international community in meeting the challenges of forecasting the weather and understanding and planning for climate change. We deliver a wide range of services to both public and private sector partner organisations, through sophisticated big data technology and a resilient 24x7 operational capability. Employing approximately 2000 people, principally at our headquarters located in Exeter, the Met Office also operates from around 50 other sites across the UK and overseas. The Met Office represents the UK Government on many international and inter-governmental bodies, including the World Meteorological Organization.
We are now seeking an eminent scientist with a world class reputation in atmospheric sciences to ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of weather and climate science. As Chief Scientist you will enable us to exploit this science to deliver our mission: protecting life and property, enhancing well-being and contributing to economic growth. As we move forward it is vital that we maintain and promote our scientific and forecasting integrity, especially in the sensitive area of climate change and in fulfilment of our role as the authoritative voice for weather and climate on behalf of the UK Government.
