Your position

A Postdoc position is available to characterise the reactivity of aerosol particles generated in laboratory experiments (e.g., flow tubes). Metal and organic particles will be generated in situ, reacted with atmospherically relevant trace gases and the effect on particle as well as on trace gas composition will be investigated. Fundamental reaction mechanism, especially involving metal particles, and the effects of these reactions on particle toxicity will be studied.
You will collaborate with several PhD students, will have the opportunity to supervise master students and will be involved in undergraduate teaching.


Your profile

We are looking for a dynamic and highly motivated candidate with a PhD in atmospheric sciences, chemistry, physics or related field. You should have experience with laboratory aerosol experiments. Ideally, you should have experience with generation methods of aerosol particles (especially metals) and in using flow tube or similar laboratory aerosol set ups. A good level of English, excellent communication skills and a willingness to collaborate with other team members are essential.
