</div>

</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.atmos.utah.edu/" target="_blank">http://www.atmos.utah.edu/</a>) seeks <i>multiple graduate students to
study greenhouse gas emissions associated with urban development and energy infrastructure</i>. </font><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
<br>
The graduate projects, fully funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), address the role of urban design, industrial processes, and societal decisions in shaping greenhouse gas emissions. Samples of guiding questions as part of the
projects include: </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; white-space: pre;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">What can explain the spatial and temporal patterns in carbon emissions in urban regions? </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">How can cities be designed to reduce carbon emissions? </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">How
much methane, as part of the natural gas infrastructure, is “leaked” to the atmosphere? </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
<br>
The graduate positions require at least an undergraduate degree in a field of environmental earth science. Desired skills include (1) familiarity with atmospheric modeling; (2) strong data analysis skills; (3) demonstrated computer skills (e.g., Linux, R, Matlab,
Fortran, GIS); (4) excellent oral and written communication; and (5) ability to work in an interdisciplinary, team environment. In addition, knowledge of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model would be an asset. </span></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The positions could start as early as January 2015. </font></div>
