 The work of the selected candidate will focus on the evaluation of the Air Quality Forecasting System CALIOPE in the distribution of gaseous photochemical pollutants and particulate matter by synergistic observations (lidar, passive sensors) to perform a quantitative evaluation of CALIOPE-forecasted pollution episodes.
+Moreover, the Early Star Researcher will be seconded to National Technical University of Athens (Greece) to familiarize with the use of lidar and passive sensors to measure atmospheric pollutants and to exchange expertise on long-/short-range transport models. A further secondment will take place to one of our industrial partners (Selex Systems Integration GmbH or Raymetrics S.A.) in order to gain specific knowledge of weather radar or lidar systems, respectively.
 The post is available for 3 years at the Earth Science Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), Barcelona, Spain, and the salary will be commensurate with a Marie-Curie Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) position.
