This internship will be carried out within the CERI EE at IMT Nord Europe, in the research axis “Observations, Sources and Processes in the Atmosphere” (OSPA). The host team develops advanced experimental and data-analysis approaches to characterize atmospheric aerosols, their sources, and their impacts on air quality and health.

The work is embedded in the framework of the RESILIENCE project, a national transdisciplinary research initiative addressing urban environmental quality and exposure issues, relying on advanced atmospheric observations performed at the ATOLL (ATmospheric Observations in liLLe) platform, part of the European ACTRIS research infrastructure.

Brief role description:

Urban air pollution remains a major environmental and public-health challenge. Beyond particle mass concentrations, recent research highlights the importance of chemical composition, emission sources and particle size distributions in determining exposure and health relevance.

This internship focuses on the analysis of high-time-resolution atmospheric aerosol datasets, including chemical speciation, black carbon, trace metals and particle size distributions. The intern will contribute to ongoing research activities related to the characterization of urban aerosol sources and their temporal variability.

The position is intended for students seeking research-oriented training in atmospheric sciences and environmental data analysis.

Main tasks

Under the supervision of the research team, the intern will:

• Conduct a literature review on aerosol chemical composition, source apportionment and exposure-related indicators

• Participate in data pre-processing and quality control (QA/QC) of real-time atmospheric measurements

• Perform exploratory data analysis of aerosol chemical and physical properties

• Apply or test multivariate statistical tools (e.g. receptor models)

• Assist in the preparation of figures, internal reports and scientific material
