Postdoctoral position to research aerosol-cloud interactions
About
Anthropogenic climate change is a tug-of-war between greenhouse gas warming and aerosol cooling. Moreover, the impact of anthropogenic aerosols on clouds is the most uncertain driver of climate change.
We use satellite remote sensing to study cloud responses to aerosols at anthropogenic aerosol hot spots. We research aerosol impacts on liquid–water clouds (Toll et al 2019 Nature) and the ability of anthropogenic aerosols to serve as seeds for ice formation (Toll et al 2024 Science).
Interested postdoctoral researchers have the opportunity to participate actively in the activities of the research group and work together with our international collaborators. Ongoing projects include ERC-funded project CloudTracker (Tracking Polluted Clouds: the Plausibility of a Strong Aerosol Cooling Effect on Earth’s Climate) and Estonian Research Council funded project NaturalExp (Natural Experiments to Constrain Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing of Earth’s Climate).
