Free : 2013 PhD Position in Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Commercial Airliners in Germany

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 is provided in the field of Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Commercial Airliners: exploiting a new data stream.
Course Level: Scholarship is open for pursuing PhD position.
Scholarship Provider: International Max Planck Research School
Scholarship can be taken at: Germany Eligibility: Applications for the program are open to well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries. 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. Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
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 Open for International Students:  International students can apply for this scholarship. 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). Number of award(s): Not known Duration of award(s): PhD degree in a 3-years graduate program. What does it cover? Not known Notification: Top candidates will be invited to take part in our selection symposium (April 15-16, 2013) How to Apply: The mode of applying is online. Scholarship Application Deadline: Application deadline for these fully funded PhD positions is February 03, 2013. Scholarship Tags: , , , , , , ,
