[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC); funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant.] This PhD studentship investigates how rising atmospheric CO2 may alter forest emissions of volatile organic compounds and, in turn, the ability of those emissions to form secondary organic aerosol. The project is framed around a key climate question: whether a mature forest that emits different mixtures of pl...

Postdoc opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. This postdoctoral project focuses on observations of aircraft contrails and on using those observations to evaluate and improve contrail prediction models . Contrails are described as a major contributor to aviation’s climate impact, and the research goal is to support contrail avoidance strategies by reducing uncertainty in model predictions of where contrails persist and how much impact th...

About this position

This PhD project at the University of Groningen focuses on atmospheric trace gas observations in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The work builds on the long-term IAGOS-CARIBIC passenger aircraft measurement project, which has collected scientific observations during regular passenger flights over more than a decade.

You will analyse trace gas mixing ratio data to detect and characterise special events with unusual atmospheric compositions, particularly involving long-lived greenhouse gases and other tracers. The project aims to understand where these events originate, which meteorological processes lead to them, and how likely they are to occur and what impacts they may have.

The research is strongly data-driven and combines atmospheric science with quantitative analysis of large observational datasets. Depending on your background and interests, there may also be opportunities to contribute to experimental work such as airborne trace gas measurements and laboratory analysis of flask samples.

You will be based in the Faculty of Science and Engineering and work on the Zernike campus in Groningen. The role is embedded in an interdisciplinary academic environment with research links to climate, atmospheric composition, and the analysis of long-term measurement records.

The project also includes a teaching contribution of 10% of working time.
