Postdoctoral/Research Assignment “Simulation of atmospheric pollution and its sources”
The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas, (FORTH/ICE- HT) is seeking applicants for one position for postdoctoral / research assignment in the context of the research project «Constrained aerosol forcing for improved climate projections (FORCes)” (Grant Agreement number: 821205 — FORCeS — H2020-LC-CLA-2018-2019-2020 / H2020-LC-CLA-2018-2) which is implemented under the EU-Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action.
Job Description
To conduct research under a work or an employment contract in the framework of the aforementioned project "FORCeS". The main objective of FORCeS is to understand and reduce the long-standing uncertainty in anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing and to increase confidence in climate projections. The objective of this job is to improve the global simulations of ice nuclei distribution by evaluating model results by comparison with observations and identifying potentially missing ice nuclei sources, and investigate their effect on radiative forcing and in-cloud's processes.
Location: FORTH/ICE-HT, Patras, Greece
Duration: up to 6 months, with the potential of renewal or extension according to the needs of the project
Salary: up to 3.000 € per month depending on the qualifications (total cost of the employer, including social security and taxes)

The evaluation of the candidacies will be based on the following criteria and qualifications:
Qualifications | Points | Evaluation criteria |
Experience in the use of the PMCAMx atmospheric chemical transport model | 70 | Duration of the proven research experience in the use of the PMCAMx atmospheric chemical transport model: 10 points / year, with a maximum score of 70 points |
Experience in the use of the PSAT source apportionment algorithm | 30 | Duration of the proven research experience in the use of the PSAT source apportionment algorithm: 5 points / year, with a maximum score of 30 points |
Overall | 100 |
Application Submission
