[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doctoral position in Atmospheric Physics, EarthCARE ATLID validation, Sweden

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Post-doctoral position in Atmospheric Physics
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position with focus on the validation
of measurements with ATLID.

Background:
The EarthCARE satellite will be launched later this year. One of the instruments
on board will be a lidar, ATLID. In order to evaluate the quality of ATLID
observations, data products need to be validated with concurrent ground-based
measurements. IRF will contribute with lidar observations of cirrus clouds and
polar stratospheric clouds.

The project will be performed at IRF in close collaboration with the Atmospheric
Science team at Luleå University of Technology. It will be part of worldwide
efforts to validate EarthCARE data products. Hence, the project will give
opportunities to collaborate with other validation teams.

Tasks:
The tasks will include but are not limited to:
 lidar measurements
 testing and improving data inversion routines
 analysis of lidar data
 compilation of data products for validation

Qualifications:
The candidate must have completed (or expects to complete within the next
months) a PhD in atmospheric science, meteorology or physics. We will primarily
consider candidates with a degree obtained within the last three years. If you
have an older degree and want to refer to special circumstances, such as parental
leave, this should be clearly stated in your application. Experience with lidar is a
merit. Familiarity with C, Fortran and Python is an advantage.

The candidate should not currently be an active postdoctoral researcher at the
Swedish Institute of Space Physics.

The position is placed in Kiruna and is funded by the Swedish National Space
Agency and will be for 2.5 years. Starting date is second quarter of 2023.
Equality, equal conditions and diversity are fundamental principles in our
workplace which means that we consider equality aspects in our daily work and
in all decision-making forums.
