PhD position 2: Nitrate aerosol and organic nitrogen formation

At Wageningen U, advised by Julie Fry

Job description

Within a new international collaborative research project on understanding the interactions between atmospheric aerosol and clouds (CAINA), we are looking for a PhD student that will work on the measurement and modeling of nitrate aerosol formation, transformation, transport, and deposition, including the study of organonitrate and brown carbon (BrC) formation, and the role of (organo)nitrates in cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. The candidate is expected to develop expertise in field measurements of gas and aerosol using the Metrohm Monitor for Aerosols and Gases in the Atmosphere (MARGA) and gas-phase NOx and NOy measurements. The work will incorporate field work as well as laboratory chamber experiments at the AIDA chamber in Germany. You are expected to run and maintain instruments, analyze data, and work with collaborators on modeling and interpreting cloud-aerosol interactions.
