Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Science. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc at ESAC This post is classified F2 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. Location ESAC, Villanueva de la Caada, Spain Description The Internal Research Fellow will be based in the Science Support Office at ESTEC. Both the Science Support Office at ESTEC and the Science Operations Department at ESAC offer the opportunity for the successful candidates to conduct research programmes covering many areas of Space Science. These research activities are coordinated by the ESA Science Faculty, a body consisting of scientists from both establishments. Research Fellows are encouraged to participate in these programmes, led by the scientific staff and with engineering, technical and administrative support. Research Fellows are in principle fully dedicated to scientific research and have no functional duties. However, they may spend up to 20 of their time on scientific activities in support of an ESA mission. Additionally, they are encouraged to take an active part in the scientific life of the establishments. Fields of activitiesresearch The proposed research topic should be related either to ESAs scientific missions, to the space research programmes of the ESA member states or to the scientific activities of the ESA Science Faculty. A brief summary of the research activities carried out by Faculty members can be found on the ESTEC faculty research and ESAC faculty research pages or at the research programme overview page.Candidates should consult these pages to identify which of the two establishments offers the most relevant environment for the candidates research proposal and to identify one or more staff members with whom to work. While certain research programmes can be pursued at both establishments, in most cases the location of the mentor defines where a fellowship is held.

As national expertise institute SRON gives counsel to the Dutch government and coordinates national contributions to international space missions. SRON stimulates the implementation of space science in our society. Our Earth Science Group has a vacancy for a Postdoc fm vacancy nr. 1253 Project Outline The goal of the project is to retrieve aerosol properties using a combination of High Spectral Resolution Lidar HSRL and multiangle polarimeter measurements. To improve our understanding of the effect of aerosols on climate and air quality, measurements of aerosol chemical composition, size distribution, height profile, and optical properties are of crucial importance. From a remote sensing perspective, the most extensive set of aerosol properties can be obtained by combining passive multiangle, multispectral measurements of intensity and polarization with active measurements performed by a High Spectral Resolution LIDAR HSRL. Measurements will be performed over North America using the NASA high altitude ER2 aircraft with onboard 3 different spectrophoto polarimeters RSP, airMSPI, and airSPEX, which differ in terms of spectral, angular, and spatial sampling, and the airborne HSRL2 Lidar. The task of the postdoc is to develop an algorithm for a joint retrieval using polarimeter and HSRL measurements simultaneously, making full use of the information in the remote sensing measurements. The postdoc will collaborate with scientists from different NASA institutes GISS, LaRC, JPL. Requirements For this interesting and challenging project we are looking for a scientist with a PhD degree in atmospheric science, or astro physics with strong programming skills and experience in the field of aerosol remote. Good knowledge of the English language is essential.
