Job description
The Free University of Amsterdam is looking for an earth- or atmospheric scientist who studies contemporary climate change from an atmospheric perspective and studies the changing occurrence of climate extremes like floods, droughts or heatwaves and their impact on terrestrial processes such as carbon assimilation or wildfires via Earth system models (ideally EC-Earth), data assimilation techniques, or big data analyses. The ideal candidate combines theoretical expertise with various atmospheric measurements datasets (for example from new satellite missions for monitoring atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric composition, and land surface properties) and assesses impacts and risks for society and/or ecosystems. The candidate is expected to connect on-going research lines between the department of Water and Climate Risk (part of the Institute for Environmental Studies, IVM) and the department of Earth Sciences.
Job duties
- conduct research on the impact of the changing atmospheric composition and dynamics on land surface processes and extremes.
- teach courses in atmospheric processes and dynamics and (big)data use on BSc. and MSc. level
- supervision of Masters and Bachelors theses
- work together with the department's staff of both Earth Sciences and Water and Climate Risk in the acquisition of external funds
- (co-) publish scientific papers
