[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD and Postdoc Position in Extreme Environments Research Lab at EPFL

[Schmale Julia Yvonne (PSI)]

Dear all,

I am recruiting a PhD student and postdoc for my new group <Extreme Environments Research Laboratory" at EPFL.
It would be great if you could circulate the advertisements.

Thanks in advance and best wishes
Julia


https://recruiting.epfl.ch/Vacancies/1150/Description/2
PhD student in atmospheric science in polar environments
Your mission :
EPFL is creating a new Alpine and Polar Environments Research Centre (ALPOLE) as part of the expansion of the EPFL Sion campus. The establishment of ALPOLE recognizes the global relevance of changes taking place in high-altitude and high-latitude environments, which are sentinels of climate change. The Extreme Environments Research Laboratory at ALPOLE focuses amongst other on understanding natural and anthropogenic atmospheric processes, as well as exchange processes between the atmosphere and cryosphere, ocean and (inhabited) land that have climate impact and are impacted by climate.
The laboratory is building a new facility based on lightweight high-end atmospheric sensors and a helikite as platform. Your mission and goal is to close our knowledge gap of vertical aerosol and trace gas profiles in different types of extreme environments. The first deployment of the facility will be during the 'Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis' (ALPACA) project in Fairbanks early in 2021 to study wintertime atmospheric pollution processes across strong inversions. Further deployments in the Arctic and potentially Antarctica are planned. We are looking for a PhD student who is eager to develop a lightweight sensor package supported by the staff of the laboratory, and who is willing and able to work in challenging outdoor conditions with complex instrumentation.

For the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC, www.mosaic-expedition.org<http://www.mosaic-expedition.org>) project we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher. Your mission will be to conduct interdisciplinary polar research including data analysis and modeling. You will be able to develop your research themes in an international collaboration. You have a strong ambition to publish and to help shape the new Extreme Environments Research Laboratory in Sion.
