<br>
The Postdoctoral Fellow will engage in original individual
and group research analyzing the data collected during the
FRAPPÉ and DISCOVER-AQ campaigns. He/she will use the
observations together with the WRF-Chem model to evaluate
and improve currently available emission inventories for
Colorado, to gain an understanding on the processes and
feedbacks that control air quality in the Front Range and
to develop emission control strategies for reducing ozone
pollution in the Front Range. He/she will actively
collaborate with the Science Teams and serve as a liaison
between NCAR, the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), NASA, university groups and others
and consolidate the emerging results from all groups into
a final report.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
