Head of the European Center for Aerosol Calibration and Characterization (CAIS-ECAC) and Researcher in Atmospheric Microphysics
The Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) is a research institute of the Leibniz Association and an internationally renowned institute in the field of aerosol and cloud research. ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure, www.actris.eu) is a European research infrastructure for quality-assured observation of aerosols, clouds, and short-lived trace gases. ACTRIS serves to investigate the complex interactions between gases, aerosols and clouds, especially in the areas of climate and air quality.
We are looking for an outstanding personality in the field of aerosol research with in-depth experience in measurement technology and quality assurance for the Department of Atmospheric Microphysics (AMP).
In addition to research activities, the position encompasses the lead of CAIS-ECAC. It is important to maintain close contact with all institutions within CAIS-ECAC and to work together to shape the future of ACTRIS and CAIS-ECAC. An enthusiasm for international cooperation and a vision for further development are just as important as technical expertise and experience in applying for international third-party funding in order to continue and strengthen the consortium through new European applications.

OGTAC-CC call for ACTRIS related training activities on organic tracers and aerosol constituents within the framework of the CAIS-ECAC
The OrGanic Tracers and Aerosol Constituents - Calibration Centre (OGTAC-CC), hosted and operated by TROPOS ACD as one TC unit of the CAIS-ECAC consortium, is announcing the following activity for all operators of ACTRIS NFs (observational and exploratory platforms) as well as to all other interested scientists, engineers, technicians and students:
Topic:
Theory and practice – Offline chromatographic (LC-MS and GC-MS) determination of organic tracer compounds and organic and elemental carbon (OC/EC) measurements in particulate matter collected on filters
Issued by: OGTAC-CC/ Falk Mothes
Workshop week: Monday 24/11/2025 to 28/11/2025
Registration should take place before November 5th 2025.
