[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc in carbon cycle modelling and data assimilation at Lund University, Sweden

[Marko Scholze]

Vacancy: Postdoctoral researcher position in carbon cycle modelling and 
data assimilation at Lund University, Sweden

The Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science 
(https://www.nateko.lu.se) together with the ICOS Carbon Portal 
(https://www.icos-cp.eu/observations/carbon-portal) are seeking to 
appoint a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in carbon 
cycle modelling, data assimilation, inverse modelling or applied 
mathematics.

The appointee will be part of a vibrant and international team within 
the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science. The 
department operates and further develops the Carbon Cycle Data 
Assimilation System and the LUMIA inverse modelling framework capable of 
quantifying sources and sinks of carbon dioxide through the assimilation 
of observational data. The department also hosts the ICOS Carbon Portal 
that develops operational data products and services building on ICOS 
observations for analysing the state of the carbon cycle of Europe.

The position is partly linked to the EU-funded project CoCO2 
(https://coco2-project.eu) which will prepare an operational modelling 
system to monitor anthropogenic CO2 emissions across the world. For this 
the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science will work on 
developing and applying a coupled carbon cycle fossil fuel data 
assimilation system. The appointee will be a member of the inverse 
modelling group; he/she will work on the development and application of 
the assimilation system together with the project partners and 
international collaborators. Furthermore the appointee will work 
together with the ICOS Carbon Portal on setting up and running a 
demonstrator of regional atmospheric CO2 inversion model.

The post will be available for 36 months, with a preferred starting date 
of June 2022.

Closing date for applications: 04 May 2022

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and 
experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and 
an asset.
