Description

Il n'y a pas de concours pour entrer à l’INERIS. L’INERIS n'est pas une administration mais un établissement
public industriel et commercial (EPIC) qui fonctionne comme une entreprise.

La majorité des équipes de l'INERIS travaille à Verneuil-en-Halatte dans l'Oise (60). Ce site de 40 ha placé au coeur d'un cadre privilégié est situé à 10 min. de Chantilly et 40 min. de Paris Gare du Nord (train + navettes).

INERIS donne sa chance à chaque compétence qui souhaite évoluer dans un milieu de haut niveau  scientifique et  technique. Notre réussite répose sur la diversité de nos compétences favorisées par notre politque de recrutement fondée sur l’ouverture.

Descriptif :

Post-doctoral position in the « Environmental Modelling and Decision » department at INERIS in charge of air quality modelling at regional and local scales.

JOB DESCRIPTION :
The position is open in the frame of the EC4MACS EU-LIFE and other INERIS projects
related to air quality modelling.
Clean air and climate change are central fields of EU environmental policy. New
scientific findings demonstrate important interactions and potentially large economic
synergies between air pollution control and greenhouse gas mitigation. Model
analyses, based on latest scientific findings and validated data, can provide valuable
information for cost-effective policy strategies. The European Commission envisages
for 2012/13 a review and revisions of their air quality legislation and the European
Climate Change Programme.
The EC4MACS project brings together a consortium of institutions to build and
maintain a network of well established modelling tools for a comprehensive integrated
assessment of the policy effectiveness of emission control strategies for air pollutants
and greenhouse gases (more at
http://www.ec4macs.eu/home/index.html).
The fellow will be in charge of high resolution simulations over several selected cities
with the chemistry transport model CHIMERE :

Downscaling methods will be investigated in order to calculate air pollutant
concentrations in urban areas and hot spots (near by trafic and industries). The main
goal is to establish a new set of methodologies to calculate the urban increment (or
decrement) of PM10, PM2.5, NO2 and O3 concentrations over urbanized areas.
