[ES_JOBS_NET] Two postdoc positions, CU Boulder: (1) experimental Indoor Air Chemistry, (2) Secondary Organic Aerosol Modeling

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Dear colleagues,

Two postdoc positions are available at CU Boulder in experimental Indoor 
Air Chemistry (using an Aerodyne ToF-CIMS) and Secondary Organic Aerosol 
Modeling, respectively. Please circulate to your students and postdocs, 
as well as anyone else who may be interested (including relevant email 
lists). See details below, or if it doesn't display properly in your 
email client you can also see them at this link:

http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/Open_Positions

Folks with an experimental background shouldn't worry about having 
little background in modeling as long as they have strong skills in 
computer programming (e.g. programming for Igor or Matlab data analyses)..

Regards,
-Jose

      Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Indoor Air Chemistry, posted
      Sept. 2013

A postdoctoral position is available for a joint project in the Ziemann 
and Jimenez Research Groups in CIRES and the Dept. of Chemistry and 
Biochemistry at the University of Colorado-Boulder. The position will 
involve laboratory and field studies of indoor air chemistry, with a 
primary focus on the composition of organic gases, aerosols, and surface 
films in authentic and simulated indoor environments and the 
molecular-level details of the physical-chemical processes that 
determine the composition. Experimental equipment will include a new 
Aerodyne Time-of-Flight Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (ToF-CIMS) 
configured with several ion sources and aerosol/gas sampling interfaces.

A Ph.D. in chemistry, atmospheric sciences, environmental engineering, 
or a related discipline is required. Experience with use of advanced 
instrumentation and methods for online and offline analysis of organic 
gas, aerosol, and bulk samples, such as mass spectrometry, gas and 
liquid chromatography, and spectrophotometry, as well as computer 
programming and/or complex data analysis using Igor Pro or another data 
analysis package is highly desirable. Experience with laboratory or 
field studies of atmospheric organic chemistry is also desirable. 
Background information about the research groups, techniques, and 
previous publications and projects is available at the Ziemann Group Web 
Page 
<http://chem.colorado.edu/international-students-136/news-and-announcements/41-our-department/faculty/669-paul-j-ziemann> and 
the Jimenez Group Web Page <http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez>.

To apply, please send an email describing your research interests, a CV, 
date of availability, 2-3 first-author journal paper reprints in PDF, 
and a list of 4 references to Prof. Paul J. Ziemann 
(paul.ziemann at colorado.edu <mailto:paul.ziemann at colorado.edu>) and Jose 
L. Jimenez (jose.jimenez at colorado.edu 
<mailto:jose.jimenez at colorado.edu>). The initial appointment will be for 
one year starting in the fall of 2013, with the expectation of renewal 
for at least one additional year upon satisfactory performance. Later 
start dates are also possible. The University of Colorado is an equal 
opportunity employer.

      Position in Secondary Organic Aerosol Modeling, posted Sept. 2013

A postdoctoral position is available in the Jimenez Research Group in 
CIRES and the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of 
Colorado-Boulder, in collaboration with the Hodzic/Madronich groups at 
NCAR. The position will involve modeling of Secondary Organic Aerosol 
(SOA) formation in field studies and comparison to highly detailed 
ambient data. Modeling will use a range of approaches from parameterized 
models to the GECKO-A fully explicit model. Application will focus the 
on both ambient & Potential Aerosol Mass (PAM) 
<https://sites.google.com/site/pamwiki/> flow reactor data from the 
CalNex field study 
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50331/abstract>, but 
also potentially including theBEACHON-RoMBAS 
<http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/BEACHON-RoMBAS> and 
SOAS <http://wiki.envsci.rutgers.edu/index.php/Main_Page> field studies, 
as well as laboratory studies.

A Ph.D. in chemistry, atmospheric sciences, environmental engineering, 
or a related discipline is required. Experience with computer 
programming and/or complex data analysis using Igor Pro or similar data 
analysis software is required. Experience with field or laboratory 
studies of atmospheric organic chemistry is also desirable. Background 
information and previous publications from the Jimenez group is at our 
Jimenez Group Web Page <http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez>, while 
information on our collaborators is on the Hodzic 
<http://acd.ucar.edu/%7Ealma/> and Madronich 
<http://acd.ucar.edu/%7Esasha/> pages at NCAR.

(jose.jimenez at colorado.edu <mailto:jose.jimenez at colorado.edu>). The
