Postdoc position in urban CO2 flux observations and modeling

Your position

You will be involved in our new Horizon project CLMS-Cities (starting on January 2025), which aims to develop a new urban CO2 emission product for the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS).

Within the project, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary group of partners across Europe, contributing to the development of a novel bottom-up methodology for estimating urban CO2 emissions and using urban eddy covariance observations for the method evaluation.

You will also be involved in the standard research activities of the group, and specifically in the operation of our micrometeorological towers, including the data acquisition, database management and data processing procedures.

Assistance in teaching at Bachelor's and Master's levels (in English or German), depending on research experience, and support in student supervision will also be part of your tasks.

Your profile

Applicants should hold a PhD in environmental sciences, meteorology, physics, biology, or related disciplines. Very good coding skills (e.

g. Python, R, or Matlab) and experience in computational methods and numerical analysis are required. Research experience in the fields of micrometeorology or urban climatology, as well as hands-on experience on eddy covariance applications, would be important advantages.

Excellent command of English, oral and written, is required. Basic German is an advantage.
