About this position
PhD opportunity at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH in Jülich, Germany for a project on drone-based trace gas observations and modelling-based emission verification.
The position is hosted at the Institute for Climate and Energy Systems, specifically the Stratosphere (ICE-4) and Troposphere (ICE-3) groups. The research combines atmospheric chemistry, environmental science, physics, drone measurements, GC-MS, and chemistry transport modelling (EURAD-IM) to quantify greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances.
Core tasks include developing drone-mounted sensors for sample collection and measurement, deploying drones in the field to quantify facility-scale emissions, and estimating emissions with high-resolution modelling. The project also contributes to REIGN-MP, an EU initiative supporting resilient monitoring networks for the Montreal Protocol and improved data transparency for policy and compliance.
Applicants should have an MSc in chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, meteorology, or a related field, with strong experimental and/or modelling skills. Experience with drones, GC systems, trace gas observations, and Python/data analysis is desirable. The post encourages applications even if not all criteria are met, as missing skills can be taught during induction.
Funding is a paid doctoral position at TVöD-Bund pay group 13 (67.5%), with year-end bonus and capital-forming benefits. The appointment is fixed-term for 3 years. The post also mentions the opportunity to participate in the Graduate School HITEC.
Application: submit an online application through the job posting/career portal. The deadline is not fixed; the position remains open until filled.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
