Atmospheric particles such as combustion-derived black carbon (soot) play a central role in climate change and air pollution, yet are poorly characterized. This Ph.D. thesis project would seek to use recently developed molecular and isotopic methods for improving our understanding of the sources, composition and climate forcing of atmospheric particles.
This position offers the possibility to acquire a broad range of analytical and conceptual skills within environmental analytical chemistry, biogeochemistry and atmospheric/climate science.
The Ph.D. student would join an internationally-active group of researchers and have full access to state-of-the-art field sampling and analytical facilities. Field campaigns are currently conducted in South and East Asia, Africa and the Arctic.
The activities are financed by the Swedish Research Council (VR), the Swedish Research Council FORMAS, the Swedish Energy Agency and Stockholm University.
