Asst. Professor of Earth Observation of the Atmosphere


JOB DESCRIPTION


The position focuses on air quality and its relation to climate change,
using new high spatial resolution satellite remote sensing capabilities. The
candidate will initiate innovative satellite remote sensing retrieval
techniques using new satellite instrumentation like TROPOMI, as well as
exploiting the data for research in the air quality and climate domain. The
candidate will also work on innovative concepts for new satellite sensors,
together with KNMI and related entities.

You will combine classic as well as new retrieval techniques, for example
based on machine learning, to exploit the data from current and future
satellite instruments. High spatial resolution, high accuracy data products
under challenging retrieval conditions, are considered key developments for
the future. For the developed of new instrumentation, the focus is on
miniaturized spectrometers for small satellites and high-altitude airplanes.

You will work in close collaboration with the full Professor and Associate
Professor who are leading this initiative. Both also work at KNMI and are
Principal Investigators of the Dutch-initiated OMI and TROPOMI satellite
projects, respectively.

funding, and supervise PhD candidates and post-docs. You will contribute to
the Bachelor and Master programmes and take an active part in the
organisation and management of the Department and Faculty.
