Job Description:

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. It is our goal to make significant contributions to mastering the global challenges of mankind in the fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 9.800 employees of KIT cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in research, academic education, and innovation.

We are looking for the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Atmospheric Aerosol Research (IMKAAF) to start on 01.10.2025 limited for 2 years for a

Scientist in the Field of Aerosol and Cloud Research (f/m/d)

Clouds play a key role in the Earth's climate system, as they can have either a warming or cooling effect depending on their composition. The interaction with ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is particularly important, as these particles initiate the formation of ice crystals, thereby influencing the radiative properties of clouds and formation of precipitation. As part of the European research infrastructure ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure), we at KIT contribute to a better understanding of these processes and to high-quality data for climate modelling. To this end, we work in international teams on quality assurance of INP data and organize validation experiments in the AIDA (Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) cloud simulation chambers operated at IMKAAF.

As a member of our ACTRIS team at IMKAAF, you will take on key responsibilities in the quality assurance of INP measurement data:

• Putting the new ACTRIS cloud simulation chamber at IMKAAF into service
• Validation and comparison of INP measurement instruments using state-of-the-art technology
• Establishment of guidelines for INP measurements within the ACTRIS network
• Conducting quality audits at ACTRIS stations across Europe
• Organizing and conducting training sessions and workshops
• Completed university degree and PhD in meteorology, physics, physical chemistry, or a related field
• Solid knowledge of aerosol physics
• Practical experience in measuring atmospheric aerosols, ideally including ice-nucleating particles (INPs)
• Experience in the evaluation, analysis, and visualization of measurement data using Python
• Team spirit, organizational skills, and excellent communication abilities, ideally in English and German
• Willingness to travel for work, including to remote observatories in extreme climatic conditions or at high altitudes
• A rewarding role with a high degree of responsibility
• A committed, international, and open team that values and actively promotes diversity
• Opportunities for scientific and personal development and networking within the European research landscape
• Flexible working hours and the possibility of working from home

Become a member staff of the only German University of Excellence that conducts large-scale research on the national level. Work under excellent working conditions in an interna-tional environment and be active in research and academic education for our future. Benefit from specific training when starting your job and from a wide range of further qualification offers. Use our flexible working time models (flexitime, work from home), our sports and leisure offers, as well as our child and holiday care services. We also pay a share of EUR 25/month in the Job Ticket Baden-Württemberg. Enjoy a large variety of dishes, snacks, and beverages at our canteens.

We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore we kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job.

Recognized severely disabled persons will be preferred if they are equally qualified.
