The Atmospheric Composition Research unit at FMI seeks an enthusiastic, motivated and highly qualified post-doctoral researcher on fixed-term contract to study atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their sources.
The successful applicant will contribute to improving our understanding of VOCs emitted by vegetation, sea and anthropogenic sources and their fate in the atmosphere. He or she will be working closely with other members of the Atmospheric Composition Research unit, especially in the Air Quality group. The currently open position will be part of the ongoing research project “Methanethiol - an unaccounted natural aerosol precursor emitted from the marine biota (MAVOC)”, which is funded by the Research council of Finland.
The researcher's tasks include, among others, field measurements (e.g., on Utö Island), analysis of samples and data using chromatographic methods, securing funding, and writing publications.
