Within the TUM School of Computation, Inforamtion and Technoglogy, the Professiorship for Environmental Sensing and Modeling at the Department of Electrical Engineering is researching topics of metrology for environmentalapplications, and monitoring greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions using atmospheric measurements and inversion models.

We are looking to expand our team from September 2023 onwards:

Scientific Researcher (m/f/d) E13 TV-L: Novel mathematical approaches for inverse modeling to determine greenhouse gas emissions

The position is initially limited to two years with the possibility of extension.

TASKS:

• Mathematical modeling and development of inverse methods (e.g. Bayesian inversion, optimization based methods, sparsity promoting methods based on ℓ1-norm minimization and compressed sensing) to determine greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions in cities using atmospheric measurements (MUCCnet: atmosphere.ei.tum.de/) and in-situ sensor networks in ICOS Cities project (icos-cp.eu/projects/icos-cities)

• Design and implementation of suitable algorithms, using the High Performance Computing infrastructure at Leibniz Rechenzentrum (LRZ)

• Analysis of ground-based and satellite-based remote sensing data

• Presentation of your results at conferences and publications in scientific journals

REQUIREMENTS:

• An above-average degree in mathematics, computer science, information technology, electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, or a comparable qualification

• Very good knowledge of mathematics, especially in linear algebra and numerical optimization

• Understanding of statistical modeling and inverse problems is desirable

• Experience with programming languages, e.g., C++, MATLAB, Python, Julia, R

• Joy in dealing with challenging and interdisciplinary questions

• Sound knowledge of written and spoken English. Basic German knowledge desired.

WE OFFER:

• Exciting research questions within a reputable ERC Consolidator Grant

• Possibility of earning a doctoral degree

• Access to an excellent international network and up-to-date research topics

• Opportunities to work with the top peers from Harvard University, NASA JPL, UC Berkeley, and other European partners, e.g. LSCE (France), EMPA (Switzerland)
