<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for an enthusiastic and
self-motivated scientist to contribute to ongoing national and
international projects on air quality forecasting and analysis of
atmospheric processes that influence air quality and atmospheric
composition on multiple scales. While this post is initially
available for 18 months, we will expect to continue the post
depending on availability of funding.<span

<p class="MsoNormal">You must have a good first degree in a relevant
science subject (e.g. Physics, Mathematics or Meteorology) and a
PhD in a topic related to atmospheric process modelling including
a theoretical understanding of boundary layer physics, dynamics
and transformation processes. You will have strong experience in
the development and/or use of advanced atmospheric models (e.g.
WRF-CMAQ or WRF-Chem). You may also have some experience in the
use of laboratory and field observations for atmospheric process
analysis or use of modelling for investigating interactions
between atmospheric composition and climate. In addition to having
excellent communication skills, you will have a strong commitment
to publishing papers in high quality journals.<span
