>   *Postdoc (Atmospheric Chemistry)*
>
>
>         *****A POSITION AS 2.5 YEAR POSTDOC IN ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY*
>
> is available at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics
> and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo,. For more information on the
> department, see http://www.geo.uio.no.
>
> Applications  are invited for a Postdoctoral research fellowship  in
> climate modelling/atmospheric chemistry at the Department of
> Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway.  A PhD degree in
> meteorology/atmospheric chemistry or other climate related sciences  
> is a
> minimum demand. Experience in complex numerical modelling is required.
>
> The PostDoc will carry out research related to interactions between
> chemistry and climate in a global climate model (the CAM-Oslo model).
> The overall goal is to couple existing modules for the oxidant  
> chemistry
> and the aerosol chemistry, in order to improve the representation of
> aerosol formation and the distribution of ozone and methane.  
> Scientific
> issues that will be addressed include impacts of climate change on
> oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere and how that may affect regional
> formation of secondary aerosols. Specific goals include improved
> description of the production of secondary aerosols (sulphate, nitrate
> and organic aerosols) and improved representation of the aging of
> aerosols. The position is part of a large coordinated project  
> (NorClim)
> financed by the Research Council of Norway. The work will be  
> carried out
> in close collaboration with the aerosol/cloud group at the  
> University of
> Oslo and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. The photochemistry
> module will be a part of a larger development towards an Earth System
> Model within the NorClim project that will be applied to perform
> simulations that are used as basis for the international  
> assessments of
> climate change by the IPCC.
>
> Applicants should submit:
> • application letter including a statement of interest and  
> indicating a
> preferred starting date
> • curriculum vitae including one set of certified copies of  
> certificates
> • a list of published and unpublished works
> • three copies of scientific work (printed or non-printed) that the
> applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
> • names and contact information of two references.
>
> The University of Oslo is an equal opportunity employer and seeks in
> particular to increase its number of female scientists. Women are
> therefore particularly encouraged to apply.
