Jobbeschreibung
Who we are: Our mission is to advance the scientific knowledge of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere by developing and exploiting expertise in atmospheric physics, instrumentation, analysis and modelling to serve emerging societal needs 8211; such as questions regarding climate change. On the regional level, we closely cooperate with the University of Rostock and are an integral part of the teaching program of the Institute of Physics. Further, we are networked with the research community worldwide. As an institute of the Leibniz Association, we distinguish ourselves as a modern and innovative employer that highly values family friendliness, equality of opportunity and flexibility. At the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), a full-time position (40h/week) in the Department Optical and Rocket Soundings is available as Postdoc, EULIAA project (f/m/d) The position is initially offered for three years with a start date on 01.11.2024. The salary is according to class EG 13 TV-L. The fixed-term contract is based on 2 WissZeitVG. Your Tasks: You will conduct research in the field of experimental atmospheric physics, with a focus on optical remote sensing of the atmosphere up to the edge of space (stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere). The advertised position is primarily linked to the technological instrument development of transportable lidar systems (light detection and ranging). New instruments and measuring methods are being developed in close collaboration with local industrial partners within the framework of the EU-funded project "EULIAA". The project is based on our compact lidar systems (VAHCOLI - Vertical And Horizontal COverage by LIdar). Developments in optics (spectroscopy, laser physics), building, and additive manufacturing are among the areas of activity. Software development (lidar control or data evaluation) is a critical component completing the hardware development. Your Qualifications / Experience: A PhD degree in physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or environmental sciences, or a related discipline, is required. Experience with experimental working methods (e.g. spectroscopy, laser physics). Good programming skills and expertise, e.g., Julia, Delphi, C/C++. Experience in construction and 3D printing is advantageous. Willingness to work independently Communication skills for presenting research results Ability to work in a team for interdisciplinary work groups. What we offer: an attractive working place near the Baltic Sea modern equipment engagement in an international work environment participation in the company pension scheme (VBL) employment relationship in accordance with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service of the Federal States (TV-L) flexible working hours and mobile working within the framework of the applicable regulations family office Who we are: Our mission is to advance the scientific knowledge of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere by developing and exploiting expertise in atmospheric physics, instrumentation, analysis and modelling to serve emerging societal needs 8211; such as questions regarding climate change.
