About this position
Postdoc in aerobiological modelling at Aarhus University, Department of Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Technical Sciences), with the work location in Roskilde, Denmark.
The project focuses on atmospheric science, bioaerosols, pollen, fungal spores, and the development of a new generation of numerical models for concentrations and transport. The successful candidate will contribute to the further development of WRF-Chem, integration of near real-time data, and machine-learning models using Python. The role also involves work with HYSPLIT, WRF, DNA-based observations, Hirst trap data, and Poleno Jupiter instruments.
This is a 2-year full-time fixed-term postdoc position, starting 1 March 2027 or as soon as possible, with a possible extension. The position is linked to two Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded projects: NNF RECRUIT and NNF EARLY-BLIGHT.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in environmental science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, or a similar field; documented research experience in numerical modelling; experience presenting at international conferences and leading peer-reviewed manuscripts; strong understanding of atmospheric modelling; and required programming/Linux skills including FORTRAN, C or similar, and Linux. English fluency and strong communication skills are required. Experience with WRF/WRF-Chem, bioaerosols, PyTorch, or TensorFlow is an advantage.
How to apply: submit the application in English through Aarhus University’s recruitment system. Include a CV, degree certificate, complete publication list, statement of future research plans, and information about research activities and teaching experience if relevant.
Deadline: 1 November 2026, 23:59 CET.
Supervisory/contact persons mentioned are Professor Carsten Ambelas Skjøth and Head of section Lise Lotte Sørensen at Aarhus University.
