The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) in Tromso Norway seeks applicants
for a postdoctoral position in atmospheric sciences, a PhD student
position in atmospheric chemistry, and a PhD student position in
snow-ice-atmosphere processes. The NPI is Norway's main institution for
research, environmental management and monitoring, mapping and field
work in the polar regions. The Institute is under the auspices of the
Ministry of the Environment and is a contact and service body for
national and international polar research.
Position Descriptions:
2-year Postdoctoral Position: "Modelling Atmospheric Nitrogen Delivery"
The postdoctoral candidate will be responsible for constructing forward
models of reactive nitrogen transport to Ny-Alesund, Svalbard.
Additional measurements for the development of the models will also be
taken in the laboratory at Ny-Alesund. An important aspect of the
project will be to conduct field experiments and to collect data during
field campaigns in the Ny-Alesund area during the 2009 and 2010
winter/spring seasons. This person will work closely with the PhD
students and is expected to act as a team leader. NPI seeks candidates
with a PhD degree in atmospheric sciences or other relevant discipline.
Because the project will involve fieldwork in Svalbard, some polar
experience is preferable.

3-year PhD Position: "Atmospheric Chemistry and Climatology"
The PhD candidate will focus on analyzing air quality and climatology at
the Zeppelin station in Ny-Alesund. An important aspect of the project
will be to conduct field experiments and collect data during field
campaigns in the Ny-Alesund area on Svalbard, during the 2009 and 2010
winter/spring seasons. NPI seeks candidates with a Masters degree in
atmospheric sciences, chemistry, or geophysics. Candidates are sought
who are strongly motivated and who have the ability to work
independently with a positive attitude. Previous experience in polar
areas will be an advantage. For further information, please go to:

3-year PhD position: "Nitrogen Dynamics in the Winter Snowpack"
The PhD candidate will focus on mapping the distribution of nitrogen in
the snow pack in time and space. An important aspect of the project will
be to conduct field experiments and collect data during field campaigns
in the Ny-Alesund area on Svalbard, during the 2009 and 2010
winter/spring seasons. NPI seeks candidates with a Masters degree in
atmospheric sciences, chemistry, or geophysics. Strongly motivated
candidates who have the ability to work independently and have a
positive attitude are particularly sought. Previous experience in polar
areas will be an advantage.

The "Sources, Sinks, and Impacts of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in
the Arctic" (NSINK) project aims to explore and monitor nitrogen
pathways and processes operating in the High Arctic. The NSINK program
is based on 12 Marie Curie fellowships stationed at University of
Sheffield, The Norwegian Polar Institute, Uppsala University, Innsbruck
University, The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), and the British
Centre of Ecology and Hydrology. The 12 NSINK positions will be working
tightly together through workshops and a variety of training activities.
