PhD Student - Air quality source apportionment in Europe (R1)

We are looking for a junior researcher to join the Atmospheric Composition (AC) group within the Earth Sciences department at the BSC-CNS. The AC group aims at better understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their effects upon air quality, weather and climate. This is addressed through the continuous development and application of numerical models over multiple scales, from weather to climate and from global to urban scales.



The position will be directly linked to the research field of tropospheric ozone and particulate matter (PM) formation and source apportionment. Ozone and PM are key componentes in the tropospheric chemistry and can produce adverse effects on human health and plants when present at concentrations above natural. European countries are particularly exposed to high concentrations of secondary pollutants, particularly southern Europ...
