SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research calls for applications from ambitious post-doctoral scientists with strong numerical skills and experience in atmospheric remote sensing and data processing.
With their work at SRON, candidates will analyze the performance of the innovative instrument payload of the European CO2 Monitoring (CO2M) mission in perspective of its overall science objectives. CO2M is one of the most challenging European missions for atmospheric remote sensing, comprising the launch of three satellites in the years 2025-2026 by the European Space Agency (ESA). SRON has a leading role in advising ESA regarding the scientific targets of the mission and develops operational data processing algorithms of CO2M for the European operational satellite agency EUMETSAT. Candidates will be part of our team of scientists working on the interpretation of TROPOMI – and other – satellite data in the Earth Science Group (ESG) of SRON.
At SRON they believe that a workforce diverse in gender, age, and cultural background is key to performing excellent research.
