Responsibilities and Qualifications

  • Retrieve large quantities of acquired satellite observed GHG concentration data and develop methods to consolidate satellite measurements to an overarching and analysable dataset.
  • Develop algorithms for flux/emission estimation.
  • Verify satellite based atmospheric GHG column concentration retrievals and satellite-based emission estimates using GHG concentrations and fluxes from tall monitoring towers located in Denmark.

Requirements

  • A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
  • Knowledge about satellite remote sensing preferably with multispectral data.
  • Knowledge about GHGs, Earth atmosphere, and atmospheric modelling.
  • Experience with analysis of satellite data or other large datasets.
  • Solid programming skills in e.g. Python or similar types of programming languages.
  • Interest in building a professional network in cross-disciplinary science.

Benefits and Salary

The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package including:

  • A salary of approximately DKK 540,000 (around €72,500) per year before taxes.
