Research Institute) at UCC. The successful applicant will work in a project under the direction of Prof. Andy Ruth and Prof. John Wenger to develop new instrumentation for trace gas and radical detection using approaches related to cavity enhanced and cavity
ring-down absorption spectroscopy. The new setups are to be custom-designed for the Irish Atmospheric Simulation Chamber (IASC), a national research facility for the investigation of chemical and physical processes that affect air quality and climate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

instruments and operate them in (international) campaigns at IASC where time-dependent concentrations are to be measured for several tropospheric oxidation scenarios and particle formation involving diurnal cycles. Several planned simulation experiments are
to be performed in collaboration with partners at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (Troposphere) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
