vor 3 Wochen

Sion, Schweiz École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL Vollzeit

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 17,000 people, including over 12,500 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.

Postdoc Position in High Latitude Dust and aerosol modeling Mission

Within the interdisciplinary project ECO-Plains "Ecological and climate impacts of Greenlandic glacial outwash plains", the Extreme Environments Research Laboratory (EERL) is looking for a postdoc to simulate atmospheric transport and processes of glacial dust. Dust samples have been collected from various Greenlandic outwash plains to analyze their INP ability as well as microbial communities. At the same time, real-time observations at various sites within and near outwash plains have been conducted to study the lofting of dust. Large scale remote sensing analysis is used to estimate the area of dust plains in Greenland and the probability of them to function as source of atmospheric dust and INP.

The postdoc will join the existing team of remote sensing specialists, atmospheric scientists and biologists to implement observational results into a chemical transport model. Simulations shall for example investigate the importance of Greenlandic dust for Arctic cloud formation, aerosol radiation interaction and aerial dispersal of microorganisms.

EERL focuses on understanding natural and anthropogenic atmospheric processes, as well as exchange processes between the atmosphere and cryosphere, ocean and (inhabited) land that have climate impact and are impacted by climate. EERL forms part of EPFL's new Alpine and Polar Environments Research Centre (ALPOLE) in Sion, Switzerland.

Main duties and responsibilities
  • perform numerical simulations to study the various effects of Greenlandic dust on the Arctic atmosphere
  • Analysis and publication of results
  • Build a strong network in the field of research
  • Participate in education, and PhD and master student supervision
Profile
  • Have a track record in atmospheric chemical transport modeling, specifically including aerosols
  • Be interested in implementing high latitude dust features into a chemical transport model, or improving existing ones
  • Be motivated in collaborating in an interdisciplinary team
  • Have a general interest in polar science
  • Carry out projects independently
  • Has good interpersonal skills and is a team player
  • Has good knowledge of English (written and spoken)
We offer
  •  A dynamic, interdisciplinary and young research group
  • A vibrant, internationally visible and rising academic institution in alpine and polar environments research
  • A great working atmosphere and ample opportunities for professional and personal development with access to many continuing education courses

 

For the application via the EPFL recruiting platform, please submit a motivation letter including your interests and qualifications, a CV and publication list, as well as three referees.

The position will be granted for one year initially and can be extended if the candidate has a broader interest in simulating aerosol processes in both polar regions.

We accept applications until 1st August and aim for interviews in August / September 2024. Start date beginning 2025, negotiable
