Postdoc Modelling of Aviation's Climate Impact for Eco-efficient Flight Trajectory-
**_Challenge: Develop a climate model that enables climate optimized flight trajectories to be achieved at robust manner._**

**_ Change: Improve the current climate model with broadening their geographical coverage and incorporating associated weather uncertainties._**

**_ Impact: Accelerating the development of robust climate mitigation measures towards zero-2050 goal._**

Job description

The aviation industry has been growing rapidly until the COVID-19 pandemic. The ICAO Post-COVID-19 forecasts indicate that aviation will recover with a growth rate ranging from 2.4%-4.1% for a low to a high scenario, respectively. Air traffic growth inevitably causes an increase in aviation's combustion and emissions, hence aggravating aviation's climate and societal impacts. Depending on your seniority, you will conduct research into the model development to enable robust climate optimized flight trajectories as a postdoctoral researcher working in the Horiozon Europe F4ECLIM. The goals for this position is that you will further develop the open-source climate model with a novel approach to address the uncertainties related to NOx emissions.

Yours being interdisciplinary research, you will regularly discuss and align your work with the European project partners, which include aerospace faculties, aviation research institutes, and climate scentist. Coaching bachelor and master students and supervising their projects is also part of your role. As a Postdoc researcher, you will be preparing for your academic career and take on a more leading role in education, project coordination, and developing project proposals.

The Aircraft Noise and Climate Effects group will be your homebase. You will be joining our highly motivated, friendly and supportive team.

Ours is an open-minded, inspiring, and friendly atmosphere, in which you will be sharing ideas and knowledge. It is our mission to reduce the environmental impact of aviation, while improving safety and efficiency.

**Requirements**:
You thrive on developing complex mathematical models and analysing simulations that will demonstrably eco-efficient flights with sufficient level of confidence. In your contacts with your colleagues and your project partners you put your communication skills to good use. And you enjoy mentoring and interacting with students, while growing your own skills and expertise.

You also have:

- Excellent mathematical and analytical skills.
- Advanced programming skills.
- A keen interest in interdisciplinary research.
- An excellent command of English, as you’ll be working in an internationally diverse community and with international partners.

Conditions of employment

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
