Job description:
The announced position is to be occupied in our Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research - Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMKIFU) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The "Atmospheric Variability and Trends" Research Group is founded in the field of atmospheric chemistry and physics. Our team operates the midlatitude sites - Zugspitze (2964 m a.s.l.), Schneefernerhaus (2650 m a.s.l.) and Garmisch-Partenkirchen (734 m a.s.l.) - which is one of the best-equipped atmospheric observation facilities on the globe. Using up-looking optical soundings along with numerical models for data analyses, we address some of the big questions in climate sciences.
Currently we perform a substantial upgrade of our activities in solar absorption FTIR spectrometry of atmospheric trace gases (reactive trace gases, ozone relevant trace gases, and greenhouse gases). This is a contribution to the global "Network of the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change" (NDACC). At the same time, part of our measurement activities will be forming a "National Facility" of the European Research Infrastructure ACTRIS" (Aerosols, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure).
Your tasks include:
- contribute to the build-up of a new solar FTIR spectrometer (Bruker IFS 125 HR)
- develop/optimize retrieval strategies for vertical columns and profiles of various trace gases from mid-infrared FTIR measurements
- analyze the long-term measurement series
- publish the scientific results
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
