Postdoctoral Fellow in Atmospheric Science (Index-Nr. 5504-28440)

Descrizione

Postdoctoral Fellow in Atmospheric Science (Index-Nr. 5504-28440) Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): Il Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), il più grande istituto di ricerca per le scienze naturali e ingegneristiche in Svizzera, cerca un Ricercatore post-dottorato in scienze atmosferiche. Il candidato selezionato si occuperà di comprendere le emissioni non-CO2 dai motori degli aerei, sia di grandi dimensioni che di quelli più piccoli e non regolamentati. Le principali mansioni includono la conduzione di campagne di misurazione presso un banco di prova per aerei e in aeroporto, la caratterizzazione e calibrazione di spettrometri di massa online, e la collaborazione con partner internazionali. È richiesta una laurea in scienze atmosferiche o un campo correlato, oltre a competenze nella gestione di strumentazione aerosol e nella conduzione di esperimenti collaborativi. The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2300 people. Your project will be centred around the understanding the non-CO2 emissions from aircraft engines from both large aircraft engines and smaller unregulated engines. For the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Atmospheric Science Your tasks You will lead and organize efforts for campaigns at an aircraft test bench and measurements at an airport You will characterize, operate and calibrate an online mass spectrometer equipped with an extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometer to measure both inorganic and organic components of the aerosol and quantify oil emissions You will characterize the volatile components of aircraft exhaust emissions with a proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer You will understand the formation potential of secondary organic aerosol, and its composition using an extractive electrospray mass spectrometer and oxidative flow reactor You will maintain an aerosol mass spectrometer and be responsible for aerosol instrumentation during campaigns to measure aircraft emissions Your work will involve collaborative experiments with various collaborators, including international partners Annuncio in inglese.
