Within the European Training Network MEMO2 ( MEthane goes MObile – MEsurements and MOdelling) we are offering 13 positions for Early Stage Researchers.
The project aims to identify and evaluate methane emissions, and support mitigation measures in the EU by I) applying advanced mobile methane measurement tools, II) isotopic source characterization at the EU scale, and III) integrating models from the local to the continental scale. MEMO2 will bridge the gap between emission estimates from the existing large-scale monitoring programs and the ‘bottom-up’ estimates of emissions from local sources that are used in the national reporting. The MEMO2 project has more than 20 scientific and non-scientific collaborators from 7 countries. Within MEMO2 we will educate a new generation of “cross–thinking” scientists, which are able to effectively implement novel measurement and modelling tools in an interdisciplinary and intersectoral context.
The titles of the individual projects are listed below, for more information about the project and the application procedure, please visit our project website: https://memo2.sites.uu.nl
