As a research scientist, you will:
- Operate and characterize state-of-the-art mass spectrometers (PTR and NH4+ -CIMS; VOCUS) to measure urban VOCs and their oxidation products
- Lead the deployment and measurements of VOCUS onboard the Zeppelin for airborne field campaigns over European cities
- Perform VOC flux measurements for the 2026 Zeppelin flights and compare urban emissions to other cities as well as results from the JULIAC campaigns.
- Work with the CHARON aerosol inlet and a FUSION CIMS to analyze the particle-phase organic composition onboard the Zeppelin from 2027 onward
- Analyze large multi-dimensional datasets using statistical tools such as positive matrix factorization (PMF) and cluster analysis
- Investigate the influence of different urban emission sectors on atmospheric composition
- Present your results at international conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals
