Atmospheric Physics

The Simons Foundation's Mathematics and Physical Sciences division invites letters of intent for fundamental research addressing scientific knowledge gaps relevant to solar radiation management. Priorities include environmentally benign materials for stratospheric aerosol injection and cirrus-cloud thinning, laboratory physicochemical characterization, approaches to minimize cirrus formation, near-field turbulence modelling, and integration of improved aerosol and turbulence representations into global models. In-situ aerosol-release field experiments and social-science research are outside the call's scope.

Study atmospheric reactive gases and their effects on air quality and climate. The role combines long-term and campaign observations, including work associated with Cape Grim and RV Investigator, with optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and data analysis. Research covers ozone, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and their links with aerosol chemistry. The indefinite appointment is based in Aspendale; flexible or part-time arrangements may be considered. Salary is AUD 135,000–158,000 plus 15.4% superannuation.
