class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences ( CIRES ) at the University of Colorado Boulder
is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study atmospheric
chemistry using field measurements from instrumented
research aircraft. The successful applicant will work in
the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration –
Earth System Research Laboratory/Chemical Sciences
Division ( NOAA ESRL / CSD ).<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
The researcher will work closely with a team of federal
and CIRES scientists responsible for aircraft instrument
integration, field deployment, and analysis of the
resulting atmospheric data. Primary scientific
responsibilities will focus on carrying out, interpreting,
and publishing findings from reactive nitrogen oxides (NO,
NO2, and NOy) and ozone (O3) measurements taken on the
5-year Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission funded under
the NASA Earth Venture Suborbital-2 program. ATom uses the
DC-8 research aircraft to collect in-situ gas and aerosol
measurements, along near-continuous vertical profiles from
the marine boundary layer to 12 km altitude, over the
course of 4 pole-to-pole circumnavigations in the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans between 2015 and 2019 (see illustration
below).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
The appointment will start no earlier than April of 2015,
and may start later by mutual agreement. The initial term
of the appointment will be for two years, with extensions
possible.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Responsibilities<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Carry out atmospheric measurements of reactive NO, NO2,
NOy, and O3 by chemiluminescence aboard the NASA DC-8
research aircraft during ATom.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Design, test, and implement upgrades to the
instrumentation as needed.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Carry out data reduction, critical evaluation, and
archiving of the field data.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Analyze the data, in conjunction with other field and
laboratory measurements and model results, to evaluate and
improve current understanding of atmospheric emissions,
the processes that affect them, and the climate- and air
quality-relevant consequences.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Present results at scientific meetings and publish in
peer-reviewed journals.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Minimum Qualifications<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Qualifications<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Doctoral degree in physics, chemistry, engineering, or
related field. Capability for self-guided, motivated, and
original research.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Ability to work well with other researchers and support
staff in a collaborative research environment.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Proven experience in design, construction, operation,
and maintenance of custom-built scientific
instrumentation, with exceptional attention to detail.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Ability to perform required duties associated with ~2
month remote field deployments in support of focused
measurement campaigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Experience with atmospheric sampling of reactive trace
gases is desirable.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
