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.
