Post-Doctoral fellowship in Experimental Atmospheric Sciences at The Cyprus Institute (CyI)

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a non-profit research and educational institution with a strong scientific and technological orientation, emphasizing international collaborations and cross-disciplinary research and post graduate education. CyI, through its established research centers, addresses challenging issues that are important at both the regional and international levels. Many of its research activities are being carried out in partnership with leading institutions in the respective thematic areas.

The mission of the Cyprus Atmospheric Observatory (CAO; http://www.cyi.ac.cy/index.php/cao.html) is to provide high quality long-term observations of key atmospheric pollutants relevant to air quality and climate change. Located at a rural site of Cyprus, this station is co-operated with the Department of Labour Inspection, in charge of the air quality network in Cyprus. The station is ideally located to document long-range transported pollution from three continents (Europe, Africa, and West Asia) and dust aerosols from the two largest desert regions in the world (Sahara, Middle East). It maintains on-site facilities and supportive infrastructure for research, development and testing of technologies related to atmospheric measurements. This station operates through EU funds that facilitate the transnational access of international scientific community on a merit-based priority scheme.

It is supported by the Horizon 2020 ACTRIS2 project which is the European Research Infrastructure for the observation of Aerosol, Clouds, and Trace gases, currently on the roadmap of European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).

The successful candidate will be responsible for atmospheric aerosol observations performed at the Cyprus Atmospheric Observatory (CAO) and the CyI Air Quality Station in Nicosia. S/he will be responsible for the data quality control/assurance and the general performance of atmospheric instrumentation. The candidate will support CyI operational and scientific activities, participate to international field campaigns, and disseminate the results in peer-reviewed journals.

The appointment will be on a full time basis, initially for one year, with the potential of renewal depending on performance and availability of funds.
