[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral research position on regional air quality modeling, UCLA

[Pablo Saide]

The UCLA’s department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences 
(https://www.atmos.ucla.edu/) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to support 
modeling activities of FIREX-AQ, a joint NOAA/NASA field program to 
better study the atmospheric effects of wildland and agricultural fires 
in the U.S. Anticipated duties include leading the development, testing, 
deployment and evaluation of a prediction system to forecast biomass 
burning smoke that constraints emissions in near-real time using 
satellite retrievals, coordinating multiple air quality forecasting 
systems provided by other institutions to support flight planning and 
perform post-campaign analysis, participating in the field deployment, 
and supervising graduate and undergraduate students.

Desired qualifications include a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics, 
engineering, or a related field, strong quantitative and programming 
skills, experience on running air quality models and analyzing their 
output, knowledge on data assimilation and/or inverse modeling, and 
strong scientific writing skills.

Applicants should send a CV with a cover letter, three references, and a 
one page summary of recent work and interests as a single PDF document 
to Prof. Pablo Saide (saide at atmos.ucla.edu). This appointment is for one 
year, renewable for up to three years pending satisfactory performance 
and continued funding. The position is available starting immediately 
but the start date is flexible. Review of applications will continue 
until the position is filled.
