Job Summary

The Institute of Physics at the University of Greifswald is seeking a part-time Research Associate for a 3-year limited term, starting January 1, 2026. This role focuses on passive satellite remote sensing of the middle atmosphere, specifically determining vertical profiles of metal species in the mesosphere using satellite-based limb scattering and limb emission measurements. The successful candidate will develop and apply numerical methods, conduct statistical analysis, validate data, and present findings in journals and conferences. This position is ideal for individuals seeking to qualify for a doctorate, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to highly current research on the atmospheric impact of re-entering satellites. It requires a proactive, independent, and communicative individual with a strong background in physics or environmental sciences.
