[ES_JOBS_NET] Position in Atmospheric Trace Gas measurements at University Frankfurt

[Andreas Engel]

The *Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences* at the 
department of geosciences of the University Frankfurt offers the 
permanent position of a

*Research Assistant (m/f/d)*

*(PostDoc)*

*(E 13 TV-G-U)***

The salary grade is based on the job characteristics of the collective 
agreements applicable to Goethe University (TV-G-U).

*Your Task*

The successful candidate will be involved in research and teaching. The 
research activity will focus on the continuation and improvement of 
long-term measurement series of halogenated hydrocarbons, non-methane 
hydrocarbons and greenhouse gases at the Taunus Observatory situated on 
the Kleiner Feldberg near Frankfurt and airborne measurements within the 
CARIBIC project. These measurements at Taunus Observatory are 
incorporated in the international AGAGE network for atmospheric 
observations and are part of the European infrastructure ACTRIS. The 
successful candidate will take care of instrumentation (gas 
chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, as well as optical 
spectrometry), quality control of the measurements, identification of 
new substances and the use of these measurements to identify trends and 
ongoing emissions of halocarbons in Europe. The successful candidate 
will improve and further automate these analytical techniques. An active 
participation in further research cooperations, e.g. with the DFG funded 
priority programme on HALO or with the DFG funded collaborative research 
centre TPChange are expected. The teaching obligations include the 
organisation and supervision of practical courses and self-determined 
lectures with a total teaching obligation of 8 hours per week. The 
candidate is also expected to take over the role of radiation safety 
officer. Self-determined research and further qualification (e.g. German 
“Habilitation”) are also possible and are encouraged.

*Your Profile*

A degree in natural sciences (e.g. meteorology, physics, chemistry or 
environmental sciences) and a Ph.D. in one of these fields as well as 
proven experience in teaching is necessary. Experience in the 
measurement of atmospheric trace gases using GC/MS and in automated data 
processing and interpretation of atmospheric measurements is required 
and should be proven by relevant publications. Knowledge in the 
programming (python, Labview) and in the software package GCWerks are 
required. We expect a profound knowledge of the English language in 
writing and speaking. For non-German speakers the willingness to learn 
German is expected. We offer a flexible and international working 
environment with flat hierarchy and good individual development 
opportunities.
