diverse faculty; thus, female and minority candidates are
strongly <br>
encouraged to apply. <br>
<br>
POSITION DESCRIPTION – Candidates are sought with expertise in
the development, evaluation, and application of <br>
numerical air quality models related to air quality, atmospheric
chemistry, and climate change at urban to regional scales. <br>
The successful applicant will be expected to help lead and grow
the WSU AIRPACT air quality forecast system operations. <br>
The selected applicant will be expected to teach
graduate and undergraduate air quality and environmental
engineering <br>
courses, direct graduate student research, and develop a
strong extramurally funded research program. The position
<br>
requirements include: <br>
1) expertise within the range of available urban to
regional scale atmospheric chemistry models with
applications to air <br>
quality, atmospheric chemistry, and/or climate change, 2) a
record of research accomplishments as demonstrated by peer <br>
reviewed publications and/or extramural grants, 3) demonstrated
ability to work with diverse, interdisciplinary teams in a <br>
collegial and collaborative manner, 4) a record of outreach,
mentoring, or teaching to diverse student populations, and 5) an

<br>
The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research is an air quality and
climate change research group with a strong reputation for <br>
both measurement and modeling studies of air quality,
atmospheric chemistry, and climate change
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lar.wsu.edu">http://www.lar.wsu.edu</a>). <br>
There are nine faculty members in LAR, and the group
collaborates with WSU faculty and outside scientists across a
broad <br>
range of topics. The LAR is a focal point for
measurement and modeling studies supported through the
Northwest Air <br>
Quality Environmental Science & Technology
(NW-AIRQUEST) consortium, which includes active
participation by <br>
federal, state, and local air quality agencies throughout the
Northwest (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lar.wsu.edu/nw-airquest/">http://lar.wsu.edu/nw-airquest/</a>). In this role, LAR
<br>
is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance and
development of the AIRPACT regional air quality forecast system
