<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are invited for the post of
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Atmospheric Chemistry, in the
group of Dr William Bloss at the University of Birmingham. The
Research Fellow will contribute to ongoing NERC-funded atmospheric
chemistry projects in the areas of either field and laboratory
studies, or numerical modelling :<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The post will be based in Birmingham, and will
potentially combine aspects of : laboratory work (instrument
development and testing) and/or field measurements for short
periods (1-3 weeks) in the UK and potentially overseas and/or
model simulations of current and previous field data. The precise
balance of duties will depend upon the skills, experience and
interests of the successful applicant. The applicant will work
alongside existing members of the research group (PDRAs, PhD
students).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Research Fellow will also be involved with
dissemination of project results through peer-reviewed journal
publications and presentations at international conferences, and
will be expected to assist in the supervision of PhD and MSc
students in related areas. Further details of the research group,
staff and ongoing projects may be found at:<o:p></o:p></p>
