The University of Reading invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in the department of meteorology. This research scientist position will contribute to a multi-institute European Union 7th Framework Programme project, “Dynamics-aerosol-chemistry-cloud interactions in West Africa” (DACCIWA), which will quantify the influence of anthropogenic and natural emissions on the atmospheric composition over South West Africa and assess their impact on human and ecosystem health and agricultural productivity.

Research will be performed to advance knowledge on the radiative effects of clouds and aerosols using a regional multi-year, multi-satellite analysis and to develop a detailed radiative closure study by exploiting airborne and ground-based measurements. Details, including job description and requirements, can be found on the university website.
