Department of Chemistry of University of Helsinki is looking for a Doctoral Researcher for a 4-year funded position. The position is related to the project “Comprehensive measurement of aerosol light absorption with cantilever photoacoustic spectroscopy” of Academy Research Fellow Juho Karhu and is done in conjunction with the Laser Spectroscopy Group. The group has a long history of applying cantilever enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy for high performance gas sensing, and in the past few years has extended the technique to aerosol absorption measurements of black carbon. The new project aims to further expand on the photoacoustic black carbon measurements, revise the instrumentation to cover a wider range of target particles, and apply the method also for infrared absorption spectroscopy of aerosols.
We are looking for a motivated student with keen interest towards experimental research. Past experience with optical instrumentation or aerosol transport phenomenon are advantages for an optimal candidate. The applicant should hold a master’s degree in chemistry, physics, or a related field.
