Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time
Job Description

The research groups of Merete Bilde and Tobias Weidner within the Center for Chemistry of Clouds (C3) at Aarhus University seek to hire two postdocs for a joint project. As a postdoc within this project, you will study the role of aerosol surface chemistry for the formation of clouds with implications for climate and ecosystems research.

Project Overview

The project aims to understand how aerosol particles and water molecules interact to form clouds. The two postdocs will work in close collaboration to correlate findings on aerosol properties with the molecular structure of the surface of aerosols and water droplets under different conditions.

Responsibilities
  • Postdoc 1: Generate aerosol particles under controlled laboratory conditions that mimic various atmospheric environments. Develop sampling and interface system to study ultrafast laser spectroscopy studies of the generated aerosols. Characterize aerosols using advanced instrumentation to understand the processes of particle "ageing" and their impact on cloud formation.
  • Postdoc 2: Assist in development of sampling and interface system to study aerosols using ultrafast laser spectroscopy. Employing ultrafast laser spectroscopy techniques, such as sum frequency scattering (SFS) spectroscopy and 2D infrared spectroscopy, to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics at water droplet interfaces.
Requirements
  • Postdoc 1: Strong background in aerosol instrumentation, expertise on aerosol properties, and preferentially expertise in one or more of the following areas: atmospheric photochemical processes, hygroscopicity, and cloud forming potential.
  • Postdoc 2: Strong motivation to work on interfaces, expertise in setting up and performing laser spectroscopies.
Working Conditions

The project will be carried out within the newly established Center of Excellence: Center for Chemistry of Clouds (C3) in a dynamic and ambitious research environment using excellent experimental facilities for physical and atmospheric chemistry.

What We Offer
  • Opportunity for collaboration with other students and postdocs within C3 as well as international partners, providing the opportunity for international travel within the research project.
  • Access to excellent experimental facilities for physical and atmospheric chemistry.
How to Apply

Applications must be submitted via Aarhus University's recruitment system. The application must include a curriculum vitae, degree certificate, a complete list of publications, a statement of future research plans, and information about research activities, teaching portfolio, and verified information on previous teaching experience (if any).
