[ES_JOBS_NET] atmospheric chemistry postdoc @ MIT

[Colette L. Heald]

ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, to work with Professor 
Colette Heald at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to 
investigate atmospheric aerosols. This project will investigate aerosol 
sources, transport, aging, and optics and will make use of observations 
from the recent Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) campaign, in addition to 
other relevant airborne and satellite observations. The candidate will 
join a diverse research group at MIT which studies the composition and 
chemistry of the global atmosphere and the interactions of these with 
air quality and climate (healdgroup.mit.edu). Major goals and 
responsibilities of the position include investigating the observational 
constraints on the aerosol lifecycle, exploring and improving how this 
lifecycle is described in the GEOS-Chem global model, and presenting 
results at scientific conferences and preparing papers for scholarly 
journals.

REQUIREMENTS: a PhD in atmospheric science, engineering, physics, 
chemistry, or related field, experience with global or regional modeling 
of atmospheric chemistry, highly effective oral and written 
communication skills, and the ability to work as part of a research team.

The position has an anticipated start date of January 1, 2019, or prior. 
Initial appointment is for one year, with possible renewal for second 
year depending upon performance. Additional details about the position 
are available by contacting Professor Colette Heald at heald at mit.edu.

In addition to applying online, applicants should send a single pdf 
including cover letter, CV, and contact information for 3 references 
directly to Professor Heald. Applicants will be reviewed as received; 
applications received after July 31, 2018 will not be considered.
