Post-Doctoral Researcher
Ozone Deposition Flux to Ocean Waters - 2 years
The Centre for Climate & Air Pollution Studies (C-CAPS) in NUI Galway's
Environmental Change Institute focuses on the impact of atmospheric
composition on climate change and air pollution. Research activities
include aerosol formation and transformation, aerosol-cloud-climate
interactions, atmospheric chemistry, air-sea exchange of aerosols and
gases, air-quality and health, ocean acidification, ocean dynamics and
climate change. Researchers at C-CAPS are involved in remote sensing of
aerosols and clouds, aerosol and gas air-sea flux measurements, in-situ
observations, process modelling and regional (ocean-atmosphere) climate
and air quality modelling. Large scale facilities include the GAW/EMEP
supersite Mace Head and a wide range of state of the art equipment.
The research focuses on ozone deposition to oceanic waters as part of a
large-scale project funded by Ireland's EPA : Exchange at the Air-Sea
Interface: Air Quality & Climate Impacts. The researcher will conduct
gradient and eddy correlation ozone flux measurements at the Mace Head
Atmospheric Research Station near Galway on the Atlantic coast.
Responsibilities will include continuous data evaluation and model
assisted interpretation, sensor calibration and intercomparison, and
continuous assessment and optimisation of the measurement methods. The
research post is funded for 2 years.
Requirements:
We seek an individual with experience in measurements of boundary layer
dynamics and/or air-sea exchange processes. Knowledge of flux
measurement techniques (gradient, eddy correlation) would be desirable.
Salary scale: €40,578 – 44,505, commensurate with qualifications and
experience.
To Apply:
Interested candidates should send a detailed CV with covering letter,
and the names of 2-3 referees via email to the Principal Investigator,
Prof. Harald Berresheim (harald.berresheim@nuigalway.ie).
Further details about the post may be obtained from
