Postdoctoral scientist | Atmospheric inverse modeling to constrain high-latitude greenhouse gas budgets

Atmospheric Science, Climate Science and Mathematical Modeling fixed-term contract position at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry

Apply by Tuesday, Nov 10

Closing time not stated; check the source.

Jena, Germany

About

Develop atmospheric inversions of methane and nitrous oxide to constrain greenhouse-gas sources and sinks at high latitudes. The project combines CarboScope transport and inversion modelling with Arctic and Canadian observations, isotopic measurements and satellite data to investigate carbon-climate feedbacks and permafrost regions. The appointment lasts twelve months, with a start between January and April 2027, TVöD Bund remuneration and the possibility of part-time work.

Topics

  • atmospheric inversions
  • methane
  • nitrous oxide
  • greenhouse-gas sources and sinks
  • CarboScope
  • inversion modelling
  • isotopic measurements
  • permafrost regions

Requirements

A doctorate in atmospheric or natural sciences; experience with atmospheric transport, inverse optimization or time-series analysis; scientific programming is advantageous. Scientific English is required. Applications are accepted through the email or postal procedure described in the vacancy.
