Description of work
The main tasks will be research in the area of Galactic Archeaology and work on the development of data reduction and analysis systems for MOSAIC, one of the instruments for ESO’s ELT. The research focus should be Galactic Archeaology, i.e. the study of the Milky Way as a galaxy with the help large spectroscopic and photometric surveys and/or the modelling of galaxy formation. The work within the Swedish contribution to MOSAIC is foreseen to be related to the development of functional prototypes for the data reduction system for MOSAIC.

The employee will spend about 1/3 of their time on the work for MOSAIC. This means working closely with researchers in Stockholm and Upsala. The exact format for the collaboration will be set up in dialog with the employee but it is to be expected that there will be some travel involved.

The employee is expected to promote their own research results as well as those from the group via publication of scientific papers, give talks at international conferences and via visiting other research institutes and give seminars. This will mean some travel. There is a budget available for this but the employee is also expected to apply for travel funds from external bodies, such as learned societies and research councils.

The employee will be expected to organize and lead a monthly meeting where local researchers with an interested in the two ELT instrument ANDES and MOSAIC meet.

If the employee is interested there is the possibility to participate in teaching at bachelor and/or master level, e.g. by giving guest lectures. The employee will also have the possibility to offer exam projects for bachelor and master students.

Subject description

In the Arctic aerosols play a fundamental, but poorly understood, role for the properties of mixed-phase clouds. These clouds are extremely important for the Arctic energy balance. Thus, only small aerosol-cloud perturbations can have large impact on the Arctic climate. In turn, both the natural Arctic aerosol production over the open ocean and the long-distance transport of aerosols from the surrounding continental regions can increase as a consequence of the Arctic climate change.

Work duties

The main duties involved in a post-doctoral position is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours. The position includes the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning. The purpose of the position is to develop the independence as a researcher and to create the opportunity of further development.

You will investigate how natural and anthropogenic emissions over the ocean and land interplay and contribute to the formation and growth of new particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) during air mass exchanges between the Arctic and the surrounding continental regions. Your main work duties will be to develop the atmospheric chemistry transport model ADCHEM, in particular the gas–cluster–aerosol dynamics module, and run the model along air mass trajectories arriving at measurement stations in the Arctic and sub-Arctic forest region. The research will be conducted in close collaboration with researchers at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and you are expected to spend part of your working hours at SMHI in Norrköping.

Detailed description of the work duties:

• Development of the Lagrangian chemistry transport model ADCHEM.
• Study how atmospheric aerosol particles contribute to Arctic climate change.
• Investigating the atmospheric relevance of different new particle formation mechanisms.
• Analysis of the uncertainties related to the gas–cluster–aerosol dynamics and existing thermodynamics data used by the Atmospheric Cluster Dynamics Code (ACDC).
• Atmospheric dispersion modelling with the FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model (FLEXPART).
• Analysis of model results and atmospheric observations.
• Write and publish scientific articles in per-reviewed open access journals.
• Teaching in the first, second and third cycles of studies.
• Supervision of degree projects and doctoral students.
• Actively seeking external research funding.

Qualification requirements

Appointment to a post-doctoral position requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position. The certificate proving the qualification requirement is met, must be received before the employment decision is made.
