Offer Description
Closing Date: 26/03/2024
The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European non-profit Science and Technology oriented Educational and Research Institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. The research agenda of the CyI is pursued at its five Research Centres: The Computation-based Science and Technology Research Centre (CaSToRC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Centre (STARC), the Energy Environment Water Research Centre (EEWRC), the Climate and Atmosphere Research Centre (CARE-C), and the Science and Technology Driven Policy and Innovation Research Centre (STeDI-RC). Considerable cross-centre interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s culture.
The Cyprus Institute invites applications for a highly qualified and motivated individual to join the Institute as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Atmospheric Sciences in the CARE-C. The successful candidate will be dedicated to exploring the role of trace gases in the air quality of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region. This region's air quality is one of the least studied globally and is characterized by high pollutant levels, numerous emission sources and intense photochemistry. The selected candidate will engage research at the land-atmosphere interface, focusing on the emission sources and atmospheric processes of reactive trace gases across various environments. Significant emphasis will be placed on quantifying the role of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), so the ideal candidate will have expertise in operating complex instrumentation (such as PTR-ToF-MS, GC-FID, gas analyzers) and a profound interest in Atmospheric Sciences. This position is an integral part of the Environmental Observations Department (EOD) and includes participation in field campaigns, offering the opportunity to contribute to related research and innovation in various atmospheric sciences topics. Given the department's extensive research capabilities, the candidate will have the opportunity to focus their research efforts on a variety of VOC-related topics, ranging from environmental stresses on vegetation and urban emissions to atmospheric chemistry and their broader implications for the Earth's system.
Position Environment
The Climate and Atmosphere Research Centre (CARE-C) at The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a newly established Center of Excellence (CoE) aiming to conduct pioneering research in the EMME region. The advertised position is supported by the EU-H2020 “EMME-CARE” project (http://emme-care.cyi.ac.cy/ ; TEAMING Grant no. 856612), in collaboration with leading EU partners (Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Germany; University of Helsinki, Finland; and CEA, France). CARE-C is part of the broader academic ecosystem at CyI, which promotes cross-centre collaboration and interaction, characteristic of the Institute’s innovative culture. Generally, CyI is recognized as a premier non-profit educational and research institution in Europe, with a commitment to advancing science and technology across its diverse research centers.
Career Perspectives
This position is offered on a full-time basis for one year, with the potential for renewal and opportunities for advancement based on performance and the availability of funding. Candidates will find exceptional development opportunities, including access to state-of-the-art facilities and the chance to work alongside international experts. This role is designed for highly motivated individuals eager to make a mark in the field of environmental observations and atmospheric sciences, offering a pathway to professional growth and the opportunity to contribute to impactful research addressing global environmental challenges.
