Are you interested in remote sensing of the atmosphere? Are you interested in beeing a part of the ACTRIS network? Then maybe a research assistant position at the Meteorological Institute of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is a great opportunity for you!
Check out the call below, the call opens in March 2023!
main topics:
Ground-based cloud remote sensing: Participating in the installation, calibration, and testing of a state-of-the-art polarimetric W-band cloud radar and a new MWR. Combining the new radar data with existing Ka- and X-band radar observations for exploration of multi-frequency radar applications. Exploring synergetic retrievals among cloud radar, lidar, and MWR for optimal characterisation of clouds and aerosol.
Ground-based aerosol remote sensing: Participating in the installation, calibration, and testing of a state-of-the-art high power lidar. Retrieving aerosol and cloud properties using established lidar techniques. Exploring synergetic retrievals among lidar and sun photometer, for a better characterization of the aerosol optical and microphysical properties.
Quality assurance of lidar systems: Lidar intercomparison campaigns with our mobile LMU reference lidar (POLIS) at the various ACTRIS National Facilities. Improvement of existing methods and development of state-of-the-art techniques to verify the quality of lidar data. Analyzing the quality assurance tests the National Facilities submit to CARS for the acceptance as ACTRIS station.
place: The Meteorological Institute of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany
qualification required: A completed scientific degree (diploma, master's degree or comparable) in meteorology, physics, or related field. Good programming skills (ideally Python).
Application opens in March 2023
