<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size: 12pt"

High Arctic is changing very fast and these changes are
important,
both within the region and as their influence propagates out
to lower
latitudes. Using measurements from the Polar Environment
Atmospheric
Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut and
measurements from
other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the globe, the
Probing
the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA) project – which
involves
many Canadian University researchers - is investigating the
Atmosphere of the Canadian High Arctic using a variety of
instrumentation.</font></font></p>
<p class="western" style="line-height: 100%" align="left"><font
face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size: 12pt"
size="3">The
PAHA project has an opportunity to work with the Canadian
Network for
the Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC)
Rayleigh-Mie-Raman Lidar
and other ground-based remote sensing systems. There are a
number of
Lidars and other optical / radar equipment at Eureka making a
variety
of aerosol, cloud and atmospheric-chemistry composition and
structure
measurements. Keeping this instrumentation operational and at
the
forefront of atmospheric research requires constant effort and
a wide
range of skills from instrument maintenance and
trouble-shooting to
remote operations skills, on-site and off-site technical
innovations,
occasional software re-engineering and data processing
support.</font></font></p>
<p class="western" style="line-height: 100%" align="left"><font
face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size: 12pt"
size="3">The
successful applicant will be responsible for the operation of
some of
these instruments and to provide support to the PAHA team.
Participation in measurement campaigns in Eureka may also be
possible. Collaboration with other PAHA researchers and other
research groups is encouraged.</font></font></p>

experience
working in the areas of stratospheric dynamics, chemistry and
troposphere-stratosphere coupling would be advantageous. </font></font>
