[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD in atmospheric chemistry, University of Wollongong

[Jenny Fisher]

The Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry (CAC) in the Faculty of Science,
Medicine and Health (SMAH) at the University of Wollongong offers
opportunities for at least one highly motivated PhD student to work on the
project Novel techniques for interpreting atmospheric variability and its
drivers. The project(s) will focus on atmospheric variability of greenhouse
gases and related species.

The PhD project(s) will sit within a 4-year program looking at using
ground-based remote sensing, in situ surface measurements and AirCore
measurements to assess spatial and temporal variability in the atmosphere
on local to regional scales. The full-time, fixed-term (3-year with
possibility of 6-month extension) position(s) are available for
commencement before October 31, 2019, and are supported by project funding
from the Australian Research Council and through the University of
Wollongong. Each position provides a tuition scholarship, a tax-free
stipend, and funding for research expenses and conference travel.

Applicants should have (or expect to have by the time of commencement) an
honours/master’s degree or a bachelor’s degree with research experience in
atmospheric science, applied mathematics, earth sciences, physical
chemistry or physics. Experience and/or aptitude with scientific
programming and/or instrumentation is preferred but not essential. An
ability to work independently to realise project goals is expected. Women,
minorities, and members of other underrepresented groups are strongly
encouraged to apply.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work collaboratively
within Australia and in international networks such as TCCON and GEOS-Chem,
with collaborators at the University of Melbourne, North American and
European universities and research institutes. The positions will remain
open until filled and start dates are flexible, but preference will be
given to applicants who apply before July 31, 2019 and can commence before
October 31, 2019.

The exact topic of study has some flexibility and will be designed in
consultation with the student within the research interests of CAC. Further
information regarding CAC and the types of projects available can be
obtained from: http://smah.uow.edu.au/cac/index.html
<http://smah.uow.edu.au/cac/index.html.> and
https://www.uow.edu.au/~ndeutsch/projects.html.

To apply, please contact Dr. Nicholas Deutscher (ndeutsch[at]uow.edu.au)
with copies of academic transcripts, a curriculum vitae and the names and
contact information of three references. To be considered for the position,
please also include the abstract of your honours/master’s thesis if
applicable, as well as a short statement of your research interests.
Enquiries are encouraged, and applicants are welcome to make initial
informal contact with Dr Deutscher or any of the academics listed on the
CAC website before applying.
