University of Bremen

The Institute for Environmental Physics offers a good working atmosphere, direct involvement in international research and attractive facilities.

We offer you, among other things:

• Educational leave
• Additional pension provision (VBL)
• Participation in university sports (HOSPO)
• Company fitness (EGYM Wellpass)

Open to unconventional approaches in research and teaching, the University of Bremen has retained its character as a place of short distances for people and ideas since its founding in 1971. With a broad range of subjects, we combine exceptional performance and innovative potential. As an ambitious research university, we stand for research-based learning approaches and a pronounced interdisciplinary orientation. We actively pursue international scientific cooperation in a spirit of global partnership.

Today, around 23,000 people learn, teach, research and work on our international campus. In research and teaching, administration and operations, we are firmly committed to the goals of sustainability, climate justice and climate neutrality. Our Bremen spirit is expressed in the courage to dare new things, in supportive cooperation, in respect and appreciation for each other. With our study and research profile and as part of the European YUFE network, we assume social responsibility in the region, in Europe and in the world.

The university is family-friendly, diverse and sees itself as an international university. We therefore welcome all applicants regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/belief, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity. As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. Disabled applicants will be given priority if their professional and personal qualifications are essentially the same.

The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) at the University of Bremen conducts leading international research in the field of remote sensing of greenhouse gases and their exploitation in combination with modelling. To support our research activities in the field of satellite-based observation of CO2 emissions within the European Copernicus program, we are looking for a committed postdoctoral researcher with in-depth knowledge of satellite remote sensing. At the Institute of Environmental Physics, we are developing advanced evaluation methods for the precise determination of CO2 and CH4 for the CO2M satellite. A key and innovative feature of our approach is the use of detailed microphysical aerosol parameters derived from a polarimeter instrument on board the same satellite. The focus of the employee’s work is on detailed simulation studies to characterize and improve the evaluation method especially with regard to aerosol parameterizations and the application to satellite measurements initially for already launched missions such as NASA-OCO-2 and after launch to data of CO2M.
