available in the Cooperative Institute for Research in
Environmental Studies (CIRES) at the University of
Colorado-Boulder. The successful applicant will work at the U. S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – Earth System
Research Laboratory/Chemical Sciences Division (NOAA ESRL/CSD). He
or she will participate in laboratory and field work using a
customized Aerodyne Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer
(ToF-AMS) and be involved at all levels of its scientific data
analysis and subsequent publication. The work entails
collaboration across several groups in CSD, where there are a
variety of opportunities to pursue cutting-edge research on the
physical and chemical effects of aerosol particles in the
troposphere. There is particular emphasis on upgrading the ToF-AMS
instrument and participating in the upcoming FIREX fire science
laboratory study, which requires 6-8 weeks of field work in
Missoula, MT, during the fall of 2016. The initial term of the
appointment is for one year, with a possibility for extension to a
maximum of three years.</p>
