EVALUATIONS

• Full professor position at Gothenburg University, chair in Environmental Atmospheric Research (Miljöinriktad atmosfärsvetenskap): Rated number 2 by referee 1 and number 3 by referee 2 in 2001 among 19 applicants, was interviewed for the position in February 2002:
• Dr. Danny Harvey, Dep. of Geography, University of Toronto, Canada: Dr. Harvey lists Douglas Nilsson as one of two highly favorable candidates (the other was Prof. Jan Pettersson): "A very strong candidate based on expertise (measurement, theory, modeling) and strong publication record." After hearing and presentations February 21 2002, he separated the two main candidates, listing Douglas Nilsson as number two.
• Prof. Robert J. Charlson, Dep. of Chemistry, University of Seatle, USA: Prof. Charlson lists two candidates as the leading candidates (Prof. Jan Pettersson and Prof. Evert Ljungström), but then invents a special category for Douglas Nilsson: "Finally, there is one candidate who is rather young but has already acquired senoir status by virtue of the research and teaching that he has done, and who might be considered for the position even though he finnished his Ph.D. only recently."

• Lecturer (biträdande lektor) in Atmospheric Physics at MISU: was rated number 1 by referee 1 and number 3 by referee 2 and interviewed in December 2002.
• Full professor position at the Division of Meteorological Research, Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, chair in Atmospheric modelling: was interviewed in January 2003, but withdraw when offered new position in Sweden by the Science Council (VR), see above.
• Senior researcher appointed by the Science Council (VR, Särskild forskartjänst) in Physical climatology: was in 2002 rated number 1 among 17 candidates by all three referees, accepted position in 2003 and started it June 1 allocated at MISU (later moved the position to ITM from 2004-11-01):
  • Prof. Jón Egil Kristjánsson, Dep. of Geophysics, Univ. of Oslo, Norway: "DN is a young and very promissing scientist. At the age of 34 he has already 23 reviewed publications, which is an exceptionally high number. Over the last 5 years he has been co-author on 18 papers, and in half of these he was the first author... Most of his publications are in the area of measurements and modeling of aerosol formation. This is an area that requires good physical insight since it combines aerosol physics, cloud physics and atmospheric chemistry. His work involves both measurements and modelling and DN seams to be comfortable with both aspects of this topic. DN has succesfully supervised 2 students to their Bachelor's degree. He is also currently co-supervising several Ph.D. students. DN has experience in project leadership through 4 projects that he has lead, in addition to being a partner in 2 EU projects. All in all, DN is a very strong candidate, who seems to have a bright career ahead of him. The only drawback is that his area of research seems to lie somewhat outside the area listed in the announcement for this position. On the other hand some of his recent papers lie within the area of "the physical processes behind interactions between clouds and radiation", since they deal with the formation of cloud condensation nuclei in different air masses. This is an extremely important area for the understanding of key issues, such as the anthropogenic aerosol indirect effect. To the extent that recruitment of new scientists is a concern DN should be a very good choice for this position." Then prof. Kristjánson summarise his evaluation and rank Douglas Nilsson as number one in a list of five top candidates: "At the age of 34 Douglas Nilsson has less administrative experience than the elder applicants. Nethertheless, his superb publication record, added to his already having shown skill in supervisoin, earning him the 1st place."
  • Dr. Grant R. Bigg, School of environmental sciences, University of East Anglia, England: Dr. Bigg ranks Douglas Nilsson as number one: "In a ranking system where I applied grading to the categories of 'Achievements', 'Potential, 'Experience in Teaching and Supervision', 'General Excellence', 'Scientific merit of the proposal', plus an overall average grade, Douglas Nilsson was a clear leader over all the other candidates. His principal interest are linked to aerosols, their formation and links to meteorology and climate. He has the equal highest number of accepted peer-review papers (23 since 1996) yet is 6 years younger than any of the other candidates in the High group... Many of his paper have his name as first author, showing a combination of taking responsibility for research ideas and writing ability. His youth means that he is only just beginning to develop supervisory skills at postgraduate level, but he has a good teaching record. Douglas Nilsson is a well-rounded individual with significant experience in participating and organising international projects. He has shown considerably keenness on international collaboration between the Nordic countries, from postgraduate courses through to research programmes. He has good experience in a range of techniques: laboratory analysis, field measurements, numerical models and analytical tools. A slight drawback is that these are all dealing with the aerosol topic, however, his strong focus on this research area has clearly led him in diverse directions. He has excellent ideas for development. His research plan has the advantage of having already been funded through extensive links to European Union and other projects. The research plan has clear objectives and very significant results may be expected. The pre-funding means that the ideas have already been through the rigour of peer-review. The range of ideas to be pursued was excellent and extended right across his basic subject of aerosols: the primary marine aerosol source, sub-grid scale parameterisations of nucleation, upper troposphere/stratosphere particles and climate, boundary layer nucleation. His research papers are very impressive. I was particularly struck by the use of extremely clear sumary diagrams of key ideas. This is a much neglected facet of modern science publications, but one that he uses very well. His written communication skills are thus extremely high. In summary, Douglas Nilsson strikes me as a young scientist with a very commondable level of achievement already, yet also much promise. Providing him with a secure position at this time may reap great benefits for Swedish and international science in the future.
  • Associate Prof. Jorgen Peder Steffensen, Niels Bohr Insitute for Physics, Astronomy and Geophysics, Germany: Prof. Steffensen ranks Douglas Nilsson as number one: "This 34 year old scientist already has a very impressive production behind him. In a six year period (1996-2002) he has 23 articles (first author of 11) in well recognized journals. His research areas deal with the study of aerosols and clouds, atmospheric chemistry and the role of aerosols in cloud formation. He has done both modelling work and experimental work and he has participated in field work. He has demonstrated abilities in organizing scientific projects on an international level being Principal Investigator and coordinator for several such projects. He has good international connections. His involvement in international projects compensates for the lack of mobility (extended stays at foreign insitutes). He has demonstrated good teaching abilities on all levels and he has also within teaching and Ph.D. course levels shown strong organizational initiatives. His proposed research plan and his research area fall within the description of the position offered. I feel convinced that he will be able to create a group of young researchers around him. He is my first choise."
• In 2004 the Science Council (VR) and the Swedish Space Agency conducted jointly an international evaluation of Swedish meteorological research and atmospheric research including 23 Swedish scientist by six international referees (prof. Marcia Bourgin Baker, Seattle, USA; dr. Gerald L. Geernaert, Los Alamos, USA; prof. Øystein Hov, Oslo, Norge; prof. Dr. Hennie Kelder, De Bilt, Nederländerna; prof. Karin Labitzke, Berlin, Tyskland and Dr. Chin-Hoh Moeng, Boulder, USA) . The evaluation was based on detailed written reports of all research activities since 1995 and personal interviews of each scientists in front of part of the VR evaluation commity and the referees: Douglas Nilsson was rated excellent-outstanding and they strongly recommended increased founding. The full complete evaluation can be ordered from VR.
