Postdoctoral position: remote sensing of atmospheric trace gases from space The Department of Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate (AC2) is a newly created research department within CSIC´s Institute of Physical Chemistry Rocasolano (IQFR). AC2 research efforts are directed at studying the role of atmospheric composition and chemistry in the climate system. Further information about the group’s research can be found at www.ac2.iqfr.csic.es Research will focus on the definition of requirements of the UVAS (Ultraviolet and Visible Atmospheric Sounder) instrument in close collaboration with the Technical Team, development and application of retrieval algorithms in the UV/Vis for the UVAS instrument based on DOAS (differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) and BOAS (Basic Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) techniques. Experience in radiative transfer models (LIDORT, SCIATRAN) and validation of satellite measurements using on-ground instruments (MAX-DOAS) is highly desired. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or related fields and good programming skills (C++, FORTRAN, IDL). Preference will be given to candidates with experience in remote sensing from satellite, MAX-DOAS instrument development, retrieval algorithm and data analysis. This is a full time 12 months position with a possible extension up to 30 months. Applications will be considered until the position is filled; however, applicants should submit a CV and statement of research interests no later than 31 March 2016. Please contact Alfonso Saiz-Lopez ([email protected]) for further information and applications submission.
