<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Satellite remote sensing of major greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 is a novel research area that can lead to a much better understanding
of sources and sinks of these greenhouse gases. This will not only help to develop more reliable forecasts of our future climate but it will also provide key data in support of policy makers involved in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The European Space Agency ESA has recently launched a major activity for the development of essential climate variables from satellite observations which includes greenhouse gases (GHG-CCI project) as one of their themes. Our group at University of Leicester
is one of the main partners for the greenhouse gas theme. <br>
<br>
We are seeking a Research Associate for the ESA GHG-CCI project to further evolve our retrieval methods for CO2 and CH4 from satellites and to apply it the Japanese GOSAT satellite and the upcoming NASA OCO-2 mission to generate global, well characterized long-term
datasets that will allow detailed assessments of model calculations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
