Postdoctoral Fellow in Atmospheric Science

You will lead and organize efforts for campaigns at an aircraft test bench and measurements at an airport. You will characterize, operate and calibrate an online mass spectrometer equipped with an extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometer to measure both inorganic and organic components of the aerosol and quantify oil emissions. You will characterize the volatile components of aircraft exhaust emissions with a proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer. You will understand the formation potential of secondary organic aerosol, and its composition using an extractive electrospray mass spectrometer and oxidative flow reactor. You will maintain an aerosol mass spectrometer and be responsible for aerosol instrumentation during campaigns to measure aircraft emissions. Your work will involve collaborative experiments with various collaborators, including international partners.

Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
