**Your Job**:
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the importance of finding ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to meet climate change targets. One strongly considered solution is Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS), which involves capturing CO2 from the air and storing it underground in geological formations. However, the operation of DAC facilities could release significant amounts of pollutants, forming toxic gases and atmospheric aerosols. Atmospheric aerosols affect human health and play an important role in changing the Earth’s climate. Therefore, atmospheric chemical modelling can provide valuable insights into the potential risks associated with the use of proposed DAC technology.
In this PhD project, you will provide an initial assessment of the atmospheric impact of emissions from DAC facilities by
- Developing a computationally efficient atmospheric aerosol apportionment module within a global Chemistry Climate Model (CCM)
- Using source-specific species to track the contribution of yource locations and classes to atmospheric aerosol formation
- Investigate the contribution of DAC facilities to ambient particulate matter concentrations and the potential long -range transport of pollutants
Investigate the impact of emission control policies (e.g. reduction of SO2, NOx,NH3 and VOC) from specific sources and sectors on future atmospheric aerosol formation
**Your Profile**:
- Master’s degree in physics, chemistry,environmental sciences or related field
- High interest in working in a transdisciplinary collaboration between experts on the process and climate scale
- Profound programming knowledge in FORTRAN and scripting languages (e.g. Python)
Excellent knowledge of written and oral English, German language skills are not necessary
**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:
- An international and interdisciplinary working environment at one of Europe’s largest research establishments
- Excellent technical facilities, including access to one of the most powerful High Performance Computing centers in Europe
- An exciting, transdisciplinary teamwork within a multinational European project
- Chance of participating in (international) conferences and project meetings
- 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
- Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
A three year contract with payment and social benefits in line with 67,5% of pay group 13 of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVöD-Bund) and additionally 60 % of a monthly salary as special payment („Christmas bonus“).
