 The selected candidate will study mathematical inverse ill-posed problems and regularization techniques in a first step. In a second step she/he will exploit these mathematical algorithms to infer microphysical and optical properties of non-spherical aerosol particles by combining multi-wavelength backscatter/extinction coefficient and depolarization profiles as well as to develop a quality control procedure of the optical and the subsequent microphysical parameters using elastic/Raman lidar and sun-photometer data. The algorithms obtained will also be used in the evaluation of microphysical particle properties from real-life data of different ITARS network stations. Additionally, the Early Stage Researcher will be seconded to the Optical Remote Sensing Laboratory, run by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain), to work on the error analysis procedure, and to CIMEL Electronique Company (Paris, France) to learn about integrated column sensors and combined lidar and sun-photometer inversion.
 The post is available for 3 years at the University of Potsdam, Institute of Mathematics, Germany, and the salary will be commensurate with a Marie-Curie Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) position.
