Jetzt als Scientific Researcher (m/f/d) E13 TV-L bei Technische Universität München in München – Bewirb dich jetzt!

Technische Universität München

Within the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, the Professorship for Environmental Sensing and Modeling at the Department of Electrical Engineering is researching topics of metrology for environmental applications, and monitoring greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions using atmospheric measurements and inversion models. We are looking to expand our team from September 2023 onwards: Scientific Researcher (m/f/d) E13 TV-L: Novel mathematical approaches for inverse modeling to determine greenhouse gas emissions The position is initially limited to two years with the possibility of extension.

TASKS:

Mathematical modeling and development of inverse methods (e.g. Bayesian inversion, optimization based methods, sparsity promoting methods based on ℓ1-norm minimization and compressed sensing) to determine greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions in cities using atmospheric measurements (MUCCnet: atmos- phere.ei.tum.de/) and in-situ sensor networks in ICOS Cities project (icos-cp.eu/projects/icos-cities)
Design and implementation of suitable algorithms, using the High Performance Computing infrastructure at Leibniz Rechenzentrum (LRZ)
Analysis of ground-based and satellite-based remote sensing data
Presentation of your results at conferences and publications in scientific journals

REQUIREMENTS:

An above-average degree in mathematics, computer science, information technology, electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, or a comparable qualification
Very good knowledge of mathematics, especially in linear algebra and numerical optimization
Understanding of statistical modeling and inverse problems is desirable
Experience with programming languages, e.g., C++, MATLAB, Python, Julia, R
Joy in dealing with challenging and interdisciplinary questions
Sound knowledge of written and spoken English. Basic German knowledge desired.

WE OFFER:

Exciting research questions within a reputable ERC Consolidator Grant
Possibility of earning a doctoral degree
Access to an excellent international network and up-to-date research topics
Opportunities to work with the top peers from Harvard University, NASA JPL, UC Berkeley, and other European partners, e.g. LSCE (France), EMPA (Switzerland)

INTERESTED?
We look forward to receiving your application documents (English or German); applications should include:

Detailed CV, including previous publications if applicable
Motivation describing research interests and goals (one page)
A list of previously taken courses and grades
Summary of master thesis (not more than one page)
Names and email addresses of 2-3 academic references

Please send the application as a single PDF document via e-mail to esm@ei.tum.de, with “Application GHG Modeling” as the subject line. Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
