There is an open PostDoc position at DLR (German Aerospace Center) Oberpfaffenhofen, Institute of Atmospheric Physics in the research group dealing with high-resolution contrail modelling. The project duration is three years.

The research topic is on understanding contrails from airplanes with hydrogen combustion, where the initial formation process differs from that of conventional contrails from kerosene combustion. The work is part of a larger collaborative effort using contrail in-situ measurements, high-resolution models and a global climate model. Eventually, we want to assess the contrail mitigation potential of a decarbonized aviation using hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Clearly, this work is of interdisciplinary nature and a background on aerosols, cloud microphysics and/or CFD is welcome.
