PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Atmospheric Science in Ireland

Georgetown University’s Greenhouse Gas Lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to interdisciplinary research on atmospheric trace gases and climate policy. The project will address one or both of two research areas: developing improved annual estimates of landfill methane emissions, and investigating the production, emissions, and atmospheric processes affecting F-gases regulated under the Montreal Protocol. The work uses quantitative modeling to generate evidence that can inform ...

The University of Oxford’s Department of Physics, Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP), is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on aerosols, clouds and their interactions, with a focus on kilometre-scale modelling. The role is aligned with the EU Horizon Europe RealESM project, Next-Generation Earth System Modelling for Realistic Projections of Rapid Climate Evolution in the Coming Decades . The research will advance the representation of aerosol-cloud interactions in next-gene...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by 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 the atmospheric chemistry of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), a new class of refrigerants replacing older halocarbons in applications such as automotive air conditioning and heat pumps. The project addresses a major knowledge gap in how these compounds break down in the atmosphere, ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Laboratoire d'Optique Atmosphérique (LOA) of the University of Lille, within the “Nuages et Rayonnement” team, and is linked to CNRS-associated research activity on atmospheric optics. The project focuses on the optical properties of atmospheric microplastics , a recently identified and still poorly characterized component of atmospheric aerosols. The successful candidate will work on the characterization of these particles through experimental measurem...

The Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in its Department of Meteorology. The position is focused on numerical modelling of convective storms, with a strong emphasis on assimilating remote sensing data into the modelling workflow. The advertised research topic specifically mentions the use of MTG-S Infrared Sounder (IRS) observations, suggesting a project at the intersection of storm dynamics, atmospheric observation systems, ...

[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...

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in Aerosol Research within the Department of Environmental Sciences in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct independent research on aerosol sampling, analysis, and control . The project involves developing and optimizing methods to control and improve indoor air quality, supported by experiments in both laboratory and field environments. The researcher will in...

The School of Earth, Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (EESS) at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM) invites applications to its PhD programme for the Vasanth 2027 semester. This interdisciplinary research opportunity addresses pressing questions across climate research, atmospheric science, oceanography, geology, ecosystem science, and human-environment interactions . Candidates can explore research directions that align with their inter...

This postdoctoral project at SRON focuses on atmospheric emissions from biomass burning, using satellite observations together with atmospheric transport and inverse modeling. The successful candidate will work on improving understanding of fire emissions and their uncertainties by combining observations from TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P with modeling tools and complementary datasets. The research sits within the Earth Science Group (ESG) , a team of around 40 scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and...
