Job description

For the CAINA (cloud-aerosol reactions in a nitrogen dominated atmosphere) project we are looking for a PhD/Postdoc candidate to join our endeavors.

Qualifications

You have completed a PhD or master degree in physics, chemistry or another area related to environmental sciences with a strong quantitative mathematical background. You already have good background knowledge in atmospheric composition, pollution, clouds, aerosols, and climate, and experience with PTR-MS, ACSM, or other related mass spectrometry techniques. Next to this you find yourself in multiple of the following characteristics:

  • You like working hands-on with scientific instruments in a laboratory and are interested to deploy your instruments at different locations during the project.
  • You are interested in harmonization of measurements and setting standards in terms of measurement quality.
  • You have good programming skills for data processing and analysis, ideally using an programming language such as Python, IDL, or Matlab.
  • You are interested in environmental processes and climate change. You want your work to contribute to realizing pollution reductions.
  • You are a good team player and can find your position in a larger consortium, but are also self-motivated to take over increasing levels of responsibility for your project.
  • Your oral and written English skills are good and you can work (and publish!) independently.
  • You have an open mind, enthusiasm, curiosity and creative thinking.
  • We highly encourage applicants from all members of our community and of diverse background to join us.

    Offer

    For the PhD candidate position, you will be offered a temporary position (1.0 FTE), initially for one year with an extension to a total of four years upon a successful assessment in the first year, and with the specific intent that it results in a doctorate within this period. The gross salary ranges between €2.541,- in the first year and €3.247,- in the fourth year of employment (according to the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities) per month for a full-time employment. Salaries are supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and a year-end bonus of 8.3% per year.
