Two Postdoctoral researcher positions in carbon cycle modelling and data 
assimilation at Lund University, Sweden

The Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science 
(https://www.nateko.lu.se) at Lund University is seeking to appoint two 
postdoctoral researchers with a strong background in carbon cycle 
modelling, data assimilation, inverse modelling or applied mathematics.

The appointees 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 positions are linked to the newly EU-funded projects CORSO and 
AVENGERS (which is coordinated by Lund University). CORSO will support 
the establishment of an operational modelling system to monitor 
anthropogenic CO2 emissions across the world as part of the Copernicus 
programme. AVENGERS will advance the top-down methods for quantifying 
greenhouse gas (GHG) and aerosol emissions to support the verification 
of national GHG inventories and other regulated estimates of emissions 
and removals complementing the methods/approaches currently used for the 
national emissions reporting.

Within these projects the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem 
Science will work on developing and applying a coupled carbon cycle 
fossil fuel data assimilation system as well as further developing and 
applying the LUMIA inverse modelling framework. The appointees will be 
members of the inverse modelling group; they will work on the 
development and application of the assimilation systems together with 
the project partners and international collaborators.

One of the posts will be available for 36 months and the other one for 
24 months, both with a preferred starting date of February 2022 or as 
soon after as possible.

Closing date for applications: 23 December 2022

Interviews will be conducted in early January 2023

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