IGAS announces PhD Projects in Greenhouse Gas
Measurements from Commercial Airliners: exploiting a new data stream. Two PhD
positions funded by IGAS, an EU project coordinated by the MPI for
Biogeochemistry which will be starting January 1, 2013. Applicants from
well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries are eligible to
apply for the scholarship. A prerequisite for joining the school is a diploma
or master of science degree in geophysical sciences, environmental sciences,
biological sciences, physics, chemistry, computer sciences or related fields,
including a corresponding thesis.
Study Subject(s): Scholarships

Both of the positions require a candidate with a degree in the physical
sciences, such as Physics/Meteorology/Computer Science. Experience with
atmospheric measurements and/or modelling would be ideal, some familiarity with
computer programming is essential. The ability to work in a team is key, as it
is hoped that the two students would be able to work well with each other (to
become experts on the IAGOS greenhouse gas data), the rest of the department
(to learn more about the modelling tools), and colleagues from other
international institutions (primarily through IGAS/IAGOS).

Scholarship Description: There are two PhD positions funded by IGAS, an EU project
coordinated by the MPI for Biogeochemistry which will be starting January 1,
2013. The IGAS project is closely tied to the existing project, IAGOS
(In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System), which uses commercial
passenger aircraft to perform regular atmospheric observations. In 2013 the
first of the greenhouse gas instrumentation packages (already designed by our
institute) will be installed in an airliner and will begin making high accuracy
mixing ratio measurements of carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and
water vapour in situ with a high temporal resolution (every four seconds).
