Reg .no. 617-0960-08

The Bert Bolin Climate Centre (BBCC) at Stockholm University announces one research scientist position for 18-24 months. The successful applicant will work with observed and modeled sea salt aerosol emissions, atmospheric distribution, ice/snow deposition and interaction between sea salt aerosols and climate. Sea spray emissions will be parameterized and introduced in a General Circulation Model, which will be applied for different climate scenarios.

Desired background of the applicant:

- Ph.D. degree in atmospheric science/meteorology/atmospheric chemistry/atmospheric physics/environmental science/glaciology/climatology or similar.

- Good knowledge of sea spray source processes, aerosol modeling, and/or experience of large scale atmospheric numerical modeling.

- Documented capacity to work interdisciplinary, to collaborate but yet work independently.
