Brussels, Belgique KMI Temps plein

**Scientific assistant for the remote sensing team for the E-CONTRAIL project**

**Introduction**

The overall purpose of the E-CONTRAIL project is to develop artificial neural networks (leveraging remote sensing detection methods) for the prediction of the climate impact derived from contrails and aviation-induced cloudiness, contributing, thus, to a better understanding of the non-CO2 impact of aviation on global warming and reducing their associated uncertainties as essential steps towards green aviation.

Within E-CONTRAIL, the team at RMI is in charge of the remote-sensing of contrails using geostationary imagers and of the atmospheric modeling of contrails by radiative transfer simulations. The other parts of the project are carried out at the University Carlos III of Madrid (project coordinator), the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy.

For inquiries about the position, contact Pierre de Buyl (pierre.debuyl AT meteo.be) and Nicolas Clerbaux (nicolas.clerbaux AT meteo.be).

**Job description**

You will:

- Use existing cloud properties retrieval algorithms
- Generate corresponding datasets over several years of observation data
- Perform and analyze radiative transfer simulations
- Collaborate with the partners of E-CONTRAIL about the techniques and the datasets in the different work packages.
- Communicate about your work in (international) team meetings, conferences, and publications
- Validate the radiative forcing dataset across different instruments (Meteosat Third Generation, EarthCARE, GERB)

**Your profile**

Required competences:

- A degree in science or engineering with an interest in remote-sensing or atmospheric physics/chemistry
- If you obtained your master's degree outside the Benelux, you must also have a equivalence recognition from a foreign diploma or certificate in Flanders (NARIC) or Wallonia (CFWB) for the master’s degree
- Knowledge of scientific programming. C and Python are preferred. The knowledge of another tool and the willingness to learn Python are also accepted
- Good working knowledge of English
- You carried out an internship, or M.Sc. thesis in remote-sensing or atmospheric physics/chemistry
- You are able to write reports and documentation
- Knowledge of Linux for scientific computing

**We offer**
- A full-time contract at the level SW1 of the Federal Belgian Scientific career for 20 months at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium in Uccle
- Reimbursement of home-work commute by public transport
- Possibility of partial teleworking

**Gender equality & gender mainstreaming**

**Procedure**
- Send a CV and a cover letter (both in PDF) to Pierre de Buyl (pierre.debuyl AT meteo.be)
