abilities: hands-on experience preparing inputs for air quality or
emissions models; knowledge of the emission input needs of photochemical
and/or aerosol models; experience with data analysis and tools that can be
used to quality assure very large datasets; previous experience writing
command line executable scripts with Python, Perl, SQL database languages,
or R; and familiarity with GIS software.

*WHO MAY APPLY:*

Air Pollution Specialists and qualified candidates in other classifications
