The LATMOS laboratory seeks applications for a 1-year postdoctoral research scientist to work on the representation of atmospheric aerosols and chemistry in large-scale numerical models. The successful applicant will be expected to drive lead the continuous development and evaluation of the models against a range of observational datasets. This work will be undertaken in close collaboration with other project partners in France (LMD in Paris) and in UK (ECMWF in Reading; SEE in Leeds). The results are expected to be presented at national and international meetings as well as published in the peer-reviewed literature.

Applicants should have a PhD in atmospheric science and ideally a strong numerical modelling background. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in, at least, two of the following areas is required: running complex model codes, advanced knowledge of numerical modelling and statistics, skills in scientific programming (e.g., Fortran) and graphical/mathematical packages such as IDL and/or Matlab. Experience in operating chemistry-transport models model is also desirable. 

Interested applicants should send by e-mail a letter of interest, a CV, and the names of three contactable referees to Slimane Bekki. Please direct informal enquiries to the same contact.
