Job description

The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) is looking for a postdoc to study agricultural emissions derived from satellite observations.
You will work in a dynamic ambitious team of scientists studying emission estimates for air quality and climate change research. The research will be performed in 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 satellites, such as TROPOMI on Sentinel 5P of which KNMI is the PI institute.The deadline for applying is 27 October.
