Postdoctoral Researcher in Satellite-Based Monitoring of Shipping Emissions

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will join the Meteorology and Air Quality group to advance methods for detecting and quantifying shipping emissions from space. You will work at the intersection of satellite remote sensing, atmospheric chemistry, and inverse modelling, utilizing TROPOMI observations and AIS ship data. This role involves contributing to the AVES II and CAMS2_53c projects, where you will develop automated workflows to translate satellite data into ship-level emission estimates. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to investigate plume detectability under varying atmospheric conditions, ultimately bridging the gap between fundamental scientific research and real-world environmental monitoring.

Candidates must hold a PhD in atmospheric science, physics, or a related field and possess strong programming skills, particularly in Python. You should have experience with satellite observations and quantitative data analysis. The position offers a dynamic, international research environment with significant opportunities for professional development and scientific publication. You will work on a highly innovative campus, benefiting from excellent employment terms, including a competitive salary, flexible working arrangements, and a supportive atmosphere focused on both personal growth and societal impact.
