- | Applications are invited for a PhD position to work in the ITARS project, a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) within the FP7 programme. ITARS focuses on the synergistic application of high-end ground-based remote-sensing instrumentation that has the potential to substantially contribute to an improved understanding of aerosols, clouds, and aerosol-cloud interaction processes and their role for both climate and weather.

- | The selected candidate will exploit the scanning capability of cloud radar and microwave radiometer to derive 3D fields of cloud occurrence with high (ca. 100 m) resolution for domains of about 20 km. He/she will cooperate with the University of Reading on the optimization of scanning patterns and with the instrument manufacturers on their realisation. Data will be taken at the Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution (JOYCE) and used to analyse vertical and horizontal cloud variability. This is important for the evaluation of atmospheric models and satellite validation because clouds frequently occur on scales smaller than the grid size.
