Are you driven to advance climate and atmospheric science through innovative satellite data analysis? At the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), we are at the cutting edge of global climate research. As a Post-doc specialised in agricultural emissions derived from satellite observations, you’ll join our ambitious R&D team in pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery. Working with advanced satellite technology, you’ll play a key role to improve our understanding of air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to vital research for both science and policy on an international scale. Intrigued? Read on and appply!
What will you be doing?
You will work in a dynamic ambitious team of scientists studying emission estimates for air quality and climate change research. You will work on various small international projects related to agricultural emissions in several representative regions around the world. The critical emissions are methane, ammonia, and nitrogen oxides that our group derives from observations of cutting-edge satellites, such as TROPOMI on Sentinel 5P of which KNMI is the PI institute.
You won’t just be analysing data; you will explore the relationships between these emissions from various angles such as chemistry connections or human activities. You will be involved in analysing and correlating the different agricultural emissions and link them to the sources. It will also include validation of the results to characterize their reliability and accuracy. The results of your research will be presented at user workshops and scientific international conferences. Your insights will also contribute to relevant policy making.
This gives you energy
In this role you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on global climate research, contributing to meaningful advancements that inform both science and policy. You’ll be energized by collaborating with a dynamic team of experts, using cutting-edge satellite data to address real-world environmental challenges.
Your work will not only deepen scientific understanding but also support crucial decisions that shape the future of climate action. This position offers the chance to drive innovation and see the tangible effects of your research in addressing some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time.
