[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position in atmospheric chemistry at University of Gothenburg

[Cheng Wu]

Dear all,

A postdoc position (2-years) in a Fire Smoke Monitoring Project open for application (deadline 17th of February).

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project focused on real-time assessment of fire smoke's health and environmental impacts. The role involves advanced drone-based monitoring and sampling integrated with chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS). Details are available here: https://web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/1035/job?site=7&lang=UK&validator=9b89bead79bb7258ad55c8d75228e5b7&job_id=36388.

Please forward to any potential applicants!

Best regards,

Cheng and Mattias


Description: The project aims to revolutionize real-time assessment of the health and environmental impacts of fire smoke by developing an advanced drone-based monitoring and sampling platform integrated with mass spectrometry (MS). Focusing on the atmospheric chemistry of both primary emissions and secondary aerosol formation, the project utilizes state-of-the-art chemical ionization mass spectrometry techniques. Drones equipped with advanced sensors will collect particles during live fire tests to analyze their chemical composition. This data, combined with real-time measurements, will inform decisions for risk assessments, adjustments to fenced areas, and public information dissemination.

The project is a collaboration with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and Greater Gothenburg Fire and Rescue Service (Räddningstjänsten Storgöteborg, RSG). The development of the drone and MS platform—including automated procedures for monitoring, sampling, and enhanced data collection and analysis—will take place at the University of Gothenburg (GU) laboratory. Fieldwork for live fire tests will be carried out in partnership with IVL and RSG. Additionally, the project involves creating a knowledge base and evaluation system for fire events while promoting effective communication and collaboration among project partners, the reference group, and stakeholders. The work may also include competence development within teaching.

We think the right candidate will fit in to our dynamic group and the Scandinavian way of doing excellent research!
