Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: a Scientist or a Postdoc
FutuRaM will build on the outcomes of the Horizon 2020 project ProSUM, which developed the first EU-wide and open access Urban Mine Platform (www.urbanmineplatform.eu), and the activities of the Anthropogenic Resources Working Group of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which in cooperation with the COST action MINEA developed the specifications for the application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to anthropogenic resources.

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher/Scientist in the field of HiPIMS process development
In this project, we aim to develop new HiPIMS processes for the synthesis of functional, metastable thin films, particularly nitrides. The phase formation during reactive sputter deposition depends on many parameters. Due to the complexity of the pulsed sputtering process, a deep understanding of the physical processes in the deposition system is important. To this end, we will develop models and simulate the process using multi-physics software. The results of these simulations will be validated using state-of-the-art process diagnostics as well as material characterization techniques. The objective is to understand and exploit the synthesis-structure-property relationships in reactive HiPIMS to create new thin film materials with tailored functionality.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: 3-year postdoc/scientist position as project leader and data scientist for ICOS-Cities
ICOS-Cities combines and evaluates the most innovative measurement approaches of greenhouse gas emissions in densely populated urban areas. The project supports the European Green Deal and aims at developing unique tools and services for cities in support of their local climate action plans. Zurich is one of the three pilot cities, together with Munich and Paris, and hosts a wealth of measurement technologies and two CO2 monitoring networks. In collaboration with a consortium of 30 European research groups, Empa coordinates the activities in the city of Zurich, runs the sensors and reference instruments, and provides highly resolved atmospheric transport models to the research community.

(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: 24 month postdoc / scientist position in the field of mid-IR laser absorption spectroscopy
The project aims at the development and field application of a high-precision, miniaturized mid-IR spectrometer based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) for the detection of ship emissions aboard UAVs. You will leverage on our previous work for drone based methane measurement to design a multi-species, lightweight spectrometer that can be carried by UAVs to quantify the emissions of large ship engines off-shore and in the harbour. This involves close collaboration with our partners Alpes Lasers, ALTUS LSA and METIS Baltic.

(07) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: 3-year postdoc position on Estimating CO2 emissions of the cities of Paris and Zurich by inverse modelling
The EU project ICOS-Cities PAUL aims to observe and verify greenhouse gas emissions from densely populated urban areas in Europe. It compares available and novel observational strategies in three pilot cities (Paris, Munich, Zurich) and applies atmospheric modelling tools over a wide range of scales.
Our laboratory leads the development of the measurement infrastructure in Zurich, which combines a dense network of low- and mid-cost CO2 sensors with Eddy covariance measurements and a comprehensive network of meteorological observations, including wind Lidars. We combine the observations with two different modelling systems, operating on the mesoscale and the building-resolving scale, to quantify CO2 emissions by inverse modelling.
