The position is vacant within the Centre for Energy and Environment, in the research unit working on Atmospheric Science, and more precisely within the ACTRIS-EU topical centre for reactive trace gases in-situ measurements (CiGas: https://www.actris.eu/topical-centre/cigas). The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) is a distributed RI dedicated to high-quality observation of aerosol, clouds, trace gases and exploration of their interactions (https://www.actris.eu) by building on the long-term collaboration within the atmospheric science community, sustained by a series of EU-funded projects. Within this scope, CiGas-IMT Nord Europe is involved in many projects at national (ANR) and European levels (Green deal, EURAMET, COPERNICUS, etc.).
Brief role description:
The core activities of the engineer are to contribute to the operation of CiGas and the associated projects by:
- Organizing the technical activities of CiGas-IMT Nord Europe
- Ensuring synergy between CiGas-IMT Nord Europe activities and CiGas - EU
- Developing, optimizing, and testing advanced measurement techniques for reactive trace gases (mass spectrometry and chromatography techniques)
- Developing and applying QA/QC protocols and guidelines, provided by CiGas, to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) datasets
- Participating in field campaigns and conducting lab experiments
- Handling experimental datasets using advanced statistical tools
- Writing reports and contributing to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
- Performing technical training in French and English
- Participating in audit for observational and exploratory platforms in France and Europe
The person recruited will work mainly within CiGas-IMT Nord Europe team, and will collaborate with international partners and established consortium. This will be a great opportunity for her/him to work with top-level scientist experts in the measurement of reactive trace gases.
