PhD Positions

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure?: No

Offer Description

About Our Research: This PhD position is part of a research project funded by the Israel Science Foundation. The goal is to develop an improved parameterization for ozone dry deposition in air quality and climate models. Tropospheric ozone is a key air pollutant that impacts health, agriculture, and climate. Around 20–25% of tropospheric ozone is removed by dry deposition, particularly to vegetation. However, this process is not well understood, which limits the accuracy of current models. The project will use a comprehensive dataset of micrometeorological measurements, custom-developed software tools, and atmospheric models to address this gap.

Job Description: We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to conduct research at the intersection of atmospheric science, environmental modeling, and micrometeorological measurements, such as the eddy covariance. The candidate will work with field data, develop computational tools, and contribute to the improvement of ozone dry deposition representations in models. This role includes data analysis, programming, conducting field measurements and collaborating with an interdisciplinary research team.
