WALK-IN-INTERVIEWS

FOR PURELY ON TEMPORARY AND SHORT TERM CONTRACT BASIS POSTS

The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) is an autonomous research organization fully funded by Ministry of Earth Sciences, New Delhi. It is a premier Institute of national and international repute, devoted to research in various aspects of atmospheric sciences. The Institute has excellent infrastructural facilities such as high-performance computer, observational laboratories, modern library, workshop, etc. It has a strong link with various Universities and national and international organizations.

The scientific program AIR POLLUTION AND HUMAN HEALTH IN INDIAN MEGA CITIES (APHH) is established as part of bilateral cooperation between India and UK by Ministry of Earth Sciences in India. The objectives of APHH is to provide a platform for the research investigators to engage and facilitate the development of long-and short-term relationships between partner institutes. The APHH secretariat is established at IITM, Pune. Secretariat is expected to properly coordinate project groups, facilitate the partnership and campaigns, collate and do the data management and scientific analysis of various air quality and health related data base. In delivering this, the secretariat will support the agreed UK and Indian government goal to develop sustainable long-term research partnerships that contribute to sustainable development and economic growth. For the APHH Secretariat, following two positions (Event Coordinator 1 post and Data Resource Manager 1 post) are required to be filled purely on temporary and contract basis for a

maximum period of 4 years.

Under APHH, a project Process analysis, observations and modelling -Integrated solutions for cleaner air for Delhi (PROMOTE) is implemented at IITM, Pune. PROMOTE brings together a cross-disciplinary team of leading researchers from India and the UK spanning expertise in process-orientated observational and modelling analysis, prediction and forecasting of air quality and meteorology, climate modelling and socioeconomic assessment of mitigation options. Also, a project Quantifying Impacts of South Asian Aerosols on Regional and Arctic Climate (QUISARC) is being implemented in IITM in collaboration with Norway under Indo-Norway bilateral program of MoES. The main objective of QUISARC is to quantify regional and Arctic climate impacts of South Asian aerosol emissions, by updating present emission inventories and tracing the aerosol impacts through teleconnections, and physical and chemical processes. By facilitating collaboration between Indian and Norwegian scientists with expertise in emission inventories, observations and global and regional modelling, QUISARC will seek to reduce these uncertainties to provide improved quantification of the impacts of South Asian emissions on the region itself and on the Arctic. For the above 2 projects, applications are invited from bright and motivated young candidates for the temporary post of Junior Research Fellow (4 numbers) which should lead to Ph.D. degree. The place of work will be IITM, Pune. All selected candidates need to get involved in filed activities. Details are as follows:
