Job description
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is searching for a motivated Postdoctoral Affiliate or Analysis Scientist to conduct analysis to grasp sources, chemistry and impacts of reactive hint gases within the ambiance. This scientist will work within the NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) Atmospheric Composition and Chemical Processes group (ACCP) and will probably be answerable for performing measurements and evaluation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2 and NOy) throughout airborne science experiments together with the NOAA CSL AEROMMA mission deliberate for the summer season of 2023. These measurements are carried out utilizing custom-built laser-induced fluorescence devices which were lately developed in ACCP, and will probably be deployed on the NASA DC-8 “flying laboratory”. The AEROMMA mission will primarily concentrate on the distant marine ambiance, city air high quality, and atmospheric chemistry on the interface of those city and marine environments. These efforts are essential to advancing understanding of atmospheric chemistry, and have necessary implications for local weather and air high quality.
The scientist will take part in all facets of performing measurements of those species on airborne platforms together with instrument upkeep, enhancements, integration, calibration, operation, and data-reduction. Ongoing analysis matters utilizing these knowledge embody understanding sources and chemistry of sulfur and its influence on aerosol and cloud formation and radiative forcing. Reactive nitrogen matters of curiosity embody however aren’t restricted to atmospheric sources and destiny of NOx together with air/sea change, roles of NOx in atmospheric oxidation and peroxy radical chemistry, quantification of lightning NOx, and synergistic use of in-situ and distant sensing geostationary measurements. The chosen candidate will pursue novel analysis into any of those matters utilizing knowledge acquired throughout airborne science campaigns. The preliminary appointment is for one yr with the potential of extension relying on funding and efficiency.
The College of Colorado Boulder is dedicated to constructing a culturally numerous group of school, employees, and college students devoted to contributing to an inclusive campus atmosphere. We’re an Equal Alternative employer, together with veterans and people with disabilities.
