  1. Researcher
    Atmospheric Science
    Asiaq, Greenland Survey
    Nuuk, Greenland

Asiaq, Greenland Survey announce a call for applications for the
position of atmospheric researcher. This full-time, permanent position
will be located in Nuuk, Greenland.

The successful candidate will be an atmospheric scientist with an
excellent publication record and a well-established international
network. They will have experience with boundary layer research in the
Arctic, microwave radiometry, and the cloud/energy balance nexus or some
of these areas. Programming skills, processing of large data amounts,
and/or database handling are required. The successful candidate will be
working in an international environment, will have experimental field
experience, and a desire to live in Greenland. Excellent spoken and
written English is required.

The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining/calibrating
the instruments and for quality control, processing, and analysis of the
data. A climatology of boundary layer stability, inversion height, cloud
cover, and cloud type will be related to other parameters relevant for
the cryosphere (e.g., sea ice cover and snow pack variability) and
ecosystems (e.g., vegetation gradients). Additionally, the data will be
used for testing atmospheric model performance in case studies and in
connection to other monitoring sites in Greenland. Close collaboration
with international partners within the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring
Project (GEM) and beyond is anticipated. Scientific publishing and
proposal writing will be an important component of this position.

Asiaq is a company owned by the Greenland Government and is responsible
for monitoring the non-living environment in Greenland. Asiaq consists
of mapping, geotechnic/surveying, remote sensing, and a hydrology and
climate group. Asiaq is leading the ClimateBasis sub-program of the
GEM. ClimateBasis' mission is to provide reliable data for
interdisciplinary ecosystem studies that cover atmospheric, water, and
snow parameters since 1996 in Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland, since
2007 in Nuuk, Southwest Greenland and since 2016 in Qeqertarsuaq, West
Greenland. The spatial expansion of the program also led to significant
new instrumentation with a focus on boundary layer stability and clouds
as an energy balance modulator.

Applications, including a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, a
list of publications, relevant exam records, and contact information for
two references should be submitted via email with the subject,
"Researcher - Atmosphere" to asiaq [at] asiaq.gl.
