We invite applications for one postdoctoral position within the atmospheric iodine chemistry topic.

The Postdoctoral Candidate is expected to:

• Contribute with the development and use of the chemistry-climate WACCM model to work on global atmospheric iodine chemistry.
• As a part of a multidisciplinary group of scientists, she/he will interact closely with other group members working on atmospheric chemistry-climate modelling.
• Contribute to further model development.
• Disseminate research results in peer review journals and at international conferences.

Interested candidates must have:

• PhD or equivalent in a relevant field (atmospheric chemistry, climate, physics, Earth system Models).
• Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written.
• Interest in atmospheric chemistry, climate and atmospheric dynamics and chemistry modelling.

Preference will be given to candidates with:

• Experience in modelling with Fortran 90 and parallel computation frameworks such as MPI and/or OpenMP.
• Prior research experience in using global/regional circulation models or chemistry-climate models.
• Experience with data analysis and visualisation software (e.g. IDL, MATLAB, PYTHON).

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience, and is based on the CSIC salary scale.

Applications should be sent by e-mail to Alfonso Saiz-Lopez (e-mail: a.saiz@csic.es). Applications will be considered until the position is filled; however, applicants should submit applications before September 20th 2024 to ensure full consideration. The position is available immediately for a period of 1 year with a possible extension up to 2 years. All applications must include current curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of two professional references.
