Job Abstract
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) on the College of Colorado at Boulder (CU Boulder) encourages purposes for a Analysis Scientist inside NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) in Boulder, Colorado. The profitable candidate will work within the Aerosol Properties and Processes program alongside quite a few federal and college workers engaged in analysis investigating aerosol particles and their impacts on air high quality and local weather. Our group consists of scientists in any respect levels of their careers working collectively to develop and characterize world-class instrumentation. We work as a workforce to make essential aerosol measurements by deploying these devices on analysis plane and at subject websites.
This place requires persevering with and increasing analysis concerning the optical properties of aerosol particles, in addition to incorporating meteorological, hint gasoline, aerosol microphysical and compositional info to grasp how these properties evolve within the troposphere and stratosphere. This place additionally requires increasing analysis on mannequin and satellite tv for pc validation utilizing in situ aerosol measurements. People with out an aerosol science background however with related laboratory or subject expertise are strongly inspired to use. CSL has a extremely collaborative work tradition, and we’re in search of a candidate who actively subscribes to this philosophy. Profitable candidates will exhibit competency and sensitivity in working with individuals from numerous cultures and background.
The College of Colorado Boulder is dedicated to constructing a culturally numerous neighborhood of school, workers, and college students devoted to contributing to an inclusive campus atmosphere. We’re an Equal Alternative employer, together with veterans and people with disabilities.
Who We Are
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is an internationally acknowledged chief in revolutionary environmental science and analysis and is situated on the College of Colorado Boulder. At CIRES, greater than 800 environmental science professionals work to grasp the dynamic Earth system, together with individuals’s relationship with the planet. CIRES has partnered with NOAA since 1967, and our areas of experience embody climate and local weather, modifications at Earth’s poles, air high quality and atmospheric chemistry, water assets, strong Earth sciences, and extra. Our imaginative and prescient is to be instrumental in making certain a sustainable future atmosphere by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth system.
The mission of the NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) is to advance scientific understanding of the chemical and bodily processes that have an effect on Earth’s atmospheric composition. CSL’s imaginative and prescient is a nation that has the wanted scientific understanding and details about atmospheric composition to make optimum selections for the well-being of present and future generations.
What Your Key Tasks Will Be
- Develop and function instrumentation to measure the optical properties of aerosol particles, together with extinction, absorption, and angular scattering. Present methods embody photoacoustic and cavity ringdown spectroscopy and polarimetric methods.
- Function and optimize aerosol calibration methods and apply the calibrations to subject information.
- Independently function these devices, calibration methods, and different devices within the laboratory and within the subject to analyze each tropospheric and stratospheric particles.
- Journey for a number of weeks at a time, usually about as soon as per yr, for subject tasks.
- Mix the info collected by these devices with measurements of particle measurement distribution, composition, and mixing state to enhance understanding of the origin and evolution of aerosol optical properties and their affect on local weather.
- Validate the in-situ aerosol optical properties with local weather mannequin and satellite tv for pc retrieval.
- Combine these measurements with meteorological and chemical info to higher perceive how atmospheric processing impacts optical properties.
- Current outcomes at scientific conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.
Further tasks for Analysis Associates (Analysis Scientists)
- Along with the duties recognized above, inside CIRES/NOAA CSL, a Analysis Scientist can be accountable for conducting authentic analysis and/or supporting analysis by way of work within the subject of Atmospheric Sciences.
- Outreach, training, and repair actions are additionally vital parts of a Analysis Scientist’s effort.
What We Require
- A Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, atmospheric sciences, engineering, or a intently associated subject is required.
- Expertise in experimental bodily sciences.
Further necessities for Analysis Scientists
- A minimum of 1 yr of post-doctoral analysis expertise.
What You Will Want
We’ll give consideration to candidates who exhibit the next required expertise of their software supplies:
- Potential to work in a collaborative atmosphere with a various group of scientists and help an inclusive and respectful work tradition.
- Potential to work independently as wanted in laboratory and subject environments.
- Demonstrated potential to contribute to authentic, self-guided analysis.
What We Would Like You To Have
Please be aware that whereas the place necessities are detailed within the What We Require and What You Will Want sections, we would like candidates to bear in mind that they don’t must have all the talents and expertise listed on this “What We Would Like You To Have part” to be thought-about for this place. In case you meet the necessities and have ardour for the work, you’re inspired to use. We help on-the-job coaching for any further expertise or data that turn into related to the place.
- Expertise working photoacoustic or cavity ringdown spectrometry or spectroscopic methods.
- Expertise in programming for information acquisition and scientific evaluation.
- Expertise in working with massive information units like mannequin outputs and satellite tv for pc information.
- Expertise constructing devices or considerably modifying business instrumentation, together with digital, information acquisition, and mechanical expertise.
- A document demonstrating the power to speak science by way of publication and convention shows.
- Particular examples of experimental bodily sciences expertise, together with:
- Use of lasers and sophisticated optical methods.
- Area measurements of atmospheric composition or physics.
- Analyzing advanced information units.
- Background in aerosol optics, physics and/or chemistry.
- Growing, working, and troubleshooting advanced instrumentation.
