For measurements of atmospheric trace gases related to the global carbon

cycle we are looking immediately for an

      Experimental Scientist .

The position is for 5 years. The applicant will participate in the
design,
building and operation of instrumentation for continental measurement
stations (tall towers - one of them in Siberia). Trace gases include
CO2,
CO, CH4 and their isotopes, O2/N2 and SF6 or C2CL4. Typical techniques
are
GC, NDIR, flask sampling, micrometeorology. Data management, quality
control
and analysis are essential elements, including data transfer via
satellite
from the measurement stations to Jena. Expertise in the following areas
is
desired:

- GC technology
- Quantitative high precision gas analysis
- Analytical instrumentation
- Quality control of experimental data

The successful applicant should

- hold a PhD or equivalent in Physics, Physical Chemistry
