<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is
a European non-profit science and technology institution based
in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. </span> The
research aims of the Cyprus Institute are represented by three
research centers: the Energy Environment Water Research Center
(EEWRC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center
(STARC), and the Computation-based Science and Technology Research
Center (CASTORC).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The EEWRC aims to explore issues of
global significance in the fields of energy-, environmental- and
water research, with a focus on their specific regional,
East-Mediterranean manifestations. Its research agenda addresses
the great challenges related to: the mitigation and adaptation
strategies necessitated by climate change, a reduced dependence on
hydrocarbon energy sources and achieving a low carbon economy
through the employment of renewables (solar) and <span>enabling a
sustainable management of water and other natural resources in
arid and semi-arid environments</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Cyprus Institute (CyI) solicits
applications of post-doctoral scientist(s) interested in
atmospheric chemistry, environmental remote sensing and aerosol
and climate modelling. The position available is in a dynamic team
of researchers, investigating air quality and climate change in
the Mediterranean region, funded by EC/ERC. The project aims to
improve the understanding of aerosol and cloud processes and their
representation in regional and global climate models (see <a
href="http://www.cyi.ac.cy/rd/c8.html">www.cyi.ac.cy/rd/c8.html</a><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">)</span>.<span>The position offers
