Postdoctoral Fellow in Isotope Studies of Greenhouse Gases over South Asia

Postdoctoral Fellow in Isotope Studies of Greenhouse Gases over South Asia

Stockholm University - Department of Environmental Science

Stockholm, Sweden

Project description

The postdoc will join a strong and long-standing research program focusing on the interlinkages between severe air pollution and climate change in South Asia. To reduce uncertainties, there is need for field-observation-based constraints. This project is focused on leveraging multi-isotope techniques (e.g., δ13C, δ2H, δ18O, Δ14C) to advance constraints on the sources and atmospheric fate of key target gases such as methane, carbon monoxide and others in the highly perturbed atmosphere of South Asia. The combination of strategically located regional source and receptor sites with advanced isotope techniques will allow detailed characterization of sources, atmospheric reactions and overall constraints of the lifecycle of these gases of large importance for the changing climate.

Main responsibilities

• The postdoc will be centrally engaged in international cooperation including likely field-based campaigns to our atmospheric observatories in Bangladesh, India and the Maldives.

Qualification requirements

• Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
