| Postdoctoral Fellow |
The Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in Atmospheric Chemistry under the direction of Prof. Colette Heald. The successful candidate will use satellite observations (TES, CALIPSO, MOPITT, MODIS, MISR, CloudSat) with a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to investigate pollution export and transport from Asia. The project includes opportunities to observationally investigate a) multi-phase pollution export/transport b) aerosol-cloud interactions.
A focus of this work will be the effect of the emissions reductions anticipated during the Beijing 2008 summer Olympics on pollution export from the region.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- PhD in Atmospheric Science or a related discipline
- Familiarity with computer programming (UNIX, FORTRAN)
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with satellite data analysis and/or chemical transport models
This position is for one year, renewable for two, with an anticipated start date of August 2008.
Applications and nominations will be considered until the position is filled; however, applicants should submit applications by Friday March 28, 2008 for full consideration. Salary will be $45,000.00 per year and financial assistance will be provided for the processing of visa application, should that be necessary.
To apply, submit a cover letter, CV and the names of three references by email (preferred) or mail to:
