We welcome applications from excellent graduate students to
work for a Ph.D. within our programme - post doctoral vacancies are
sometimes available within specific projects. Please contact us.

January 2012 - Full Professor

The Faculty 1: Physics and Electrical Engineering of the University of Bremen seeks candidates for appointment as Full Professor Group W3 – tenured Civil Servant In the research area: Satellite supported Earth System Modelling, Advertisement No. P 584/11
Candidates with excellent academic and scientific qualifications are invited to apply for the vacant professorship in Satellite supported Earth System modelling which will focus on studying the interactions between the earth’s surface (Land, Ocean and Cryosphere) and its atmosphere. We expect candidates to have a research background in the fields of environmental physics and climate change. Possible foci are the determination of sources and sinks of atmospheric trace substances from satellite data, e.g. the study of the surface fluxes and exchange between the land, ocean and cryosphere and the lower atmosphere. This new professor will be a member of the Cluster of Excellence „The Ocean in the Earth System (MARUM)“, located at the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) in the faculty of Physics and Electrical Engineering of the University of Bremen. Full scientific and academic participation within the DFG (German Research Council) supported Research Centre/Cluster of Excellence, „The Ocean in the Earth System (MARUM)“ and the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) is a prerequisite.

November 2011 - Ph.D. Position

The Institute of Environmental Physics and Remote Sensing at the University of Bremen is offering a PhD position (TVL 13, 50%), starting on January 1st, 2012 for the duration of three years in the field of
Retrieval of vertical profiles from ground-based MAX-DOAS observations
The Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Bremen has been operating ground-based instruments for remote sensing measurements of atmospheric trace gases at several stations since 1995. The method used is based on the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) of scattered sunlight and allows the detection of a number of tropospheric trace gases and also the retrieval of their vertical distribution at low resolution.

November 2011 - Scientific Assistant

The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) of the University of Bremen seeks a Scientific Programmer / Scientific Assistant to improve the existing processing system.
The daily sea ice maps at www.iup.uni-bremen.de:8084/ssmis/, based on data of the spaceborne passive microwave sensors AMSR-E and SSMIS, are worldwide known and massively used. Among the tasks are:
adopting to the new satellite sensor AMSR-2 planned for launch 2012
harmonization of time series composed of parts from different sensors
technical improvements
user administration and access control
The work is embedded in the ESA GMES project PolarView (polarview.org), and other international activities. Full description pdf [129 KB]


November 2011 - Student Assistant

The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) of the University of Bremen seeks a Student Assistant to the analysis of time series of the Arctic sea ice extent based on data of the passive microwave sensors AMSR-E and SSMIS, and for harmonizing the different parts of the time series which stem from different sensors.
Candidates should be students of physics, environmental physics, electrical engineering, industrial mathematics or a related field.

October 2011 - PostDoc Position

The Institute of Environmental Physics and Remote Sensing at the University of Bremen is looking for a PostDoc (TVL 13, 100%), starting on January 1st, 2012 for the duration of three years in the field of
Satellite Remote Sensing of Tropospheric Constituents and Integration with Model Results
The Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Bremen has been working on remote sensing of atmospheric composition from satellite observations since 1995. The method used here is based on the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) of scattered sunlight and allows the determination of global maps of tropospheric trace gases such as NO2, SO2, or HCHO.
In the framework of the EU project MACC-II, IUP Bremen will validate results from several atmospheric models with independent satellite observations. In addition, model data will be incorporated as a priori information into the data analysis in order to improve retrievals on data from instruments such as SCIAMACHY and GOME-2, and to facilitate synergistic interpretation of results. This work builds on existing data, algorithms and results, and will be executed in close collaboration with other members of the working group.

August 2011 - new Ph.D. Position

The Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) of the University of Bremen, department of Earth Remote Sensing, is searching for an enthusiastic and dynamic young researcher for a PhD position (TVL 13, 66%) in the field of
Analysis of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) ocean images.
The project will be performed in cooperation with the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) of the University of Bremen and the Florida State University. The task is an analysis of natural hydrocarbon seepage formations on the sea-floor, based on satellite SAR images. Seepages of natural methane and oil are observed in many oceans, here the focus is on the Black Sea. The oil spills are visible at the sea surface and can be detected and described using regularly taken SAR images

August 2011 - Doktorandenstelle

Das Institut für Fernerkundung und Umweltphysik (IFE/IUP) der Universität Bremen sucht zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt unter Vorbehalt der Stellenfreigabe ein/e wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in (Doktorand/in) Entgeltgruppe E13 TV-L (50%) befristet für die Dauer von drei Jahren.
Das Institut für Umweltphysik der Universität Bremen, Abt. Physik und Chemie der Atmosphäre (Prof. Dr. John P. Burrows), arbeitet seit Jahren international federführend auf dem Gebiet der satelliten-gestützten Erfassung globaler Verteilungen von atmosphärischen Spurengasen wie z.B. Treibhausgasen und Luftschadstoffen.
Zur Verstärkung unserer Kapazitäten im Bereich der SCIAMACHY Kalibrierung wird ein/e Doktorand/in gesucht. Das Ziel ist aus den SCIAMACHY Daten eine zehnjährige Datenbank von spektral hoch aufgelösten Erdreflektionen (TOA Albedo und Bodenalbedo) für Anwendungen in der Klimaforschung zu erstellen. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung hierfür sind weiterführende Untersuchungen zur Verbesserung der Kalibrierung des SCIAMACHY Instruments sowie die Validierung der dazu entwickelten Methoden.
