Ph.D. student for studies in Water Vapour Measurements

Application deadline May 31, 2007. Reference number 2007/69

GPS signals are used to measure water vapour in the atmosphere. We search for a doctoral student to carry out research related to assessing the accuracy and stability of this new technique. The work is a part of a Swedish commitment to develop new instrumentation and measurement techniques for climate monitoring.

The project is a collaboration between Chalmers, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), SP Sweden's Technical Research Institute of Sweden, and Lantmäteriet.

You will be employed as a doctoral student by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your working time will be devoted to duties at the department, mainly teaching of undergraduate courses. The remaining time will be devoted to your own research education, where the aim is to complete your PhD examination within 5 years (nominal time without department duties is 4 years).

A suitable background is a Master of Science (Swedish: civilingenjör) in physics, electrical engineering, or an equivalent degree, including an experience and/or a strong interest in measurements and data analysis applied to the atmospheric sciences.
