<p style="line-height: 19.5px;">A postdoctoral research
project training opportunity is currently available at
the Institute for the Environment with the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This appointment will be
in the Institute’s Center for Environmental Modeling and
Policy Development (IE-<span class="caps">CEMPD</span>).<br>
The selected candidate will work with Dr. Sarav
Arunachalam in IE-<span class="caps">CEMPD</span>,
developing and applying multi-scale modeling techniques
for assessing air quality and health impacts of aircraft
emissions. Sponsored by<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span
class="caps">FAA</span><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and
Transportation Research Board, the candidate will work
on following tasks: a) Review, apply and evaluate
multiple dispersion modeling approaches for assessing
airport air quality at local scales and develop
guidance, b) Critically review PM2.5 formed from
aircraft emissions at multiple spatio-temporal scales,
and enhance/refine models as necessary, specifically to
contrast contributions from organic vs inorganic
components, c) Explore use of instrumented techniques
such as the Decoupled Direct Method (<span class="caps">DDM</span>)
and Adjoint for aviation impacts on air quality and
health, d) Explore use of remote sensing products for
model evaluation and source attribution, and e)
collaborate with other institutions working on similar
problems related to aviation’s environmental impacts.<br>
Beyond these tasks, the chosen candidate will also have
an opportunity to work with other ongoing projects
within IE-<span class="caps">CEMPD</span><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in the field of
emissions, air quality and climate modeling.</p>
