<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="">A postdoctoral fellow position is
available in the research group of Prof. Kerri Pratt (<a href="http://prattlab.blogspot.com" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><span>http://prattlab.blogspot.com</span></a>; <a href="http://prattlab.chem.lsa.umich.edu/" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><span>http://prattlab.chem.lsa.umich.edu/</span></a>) in the Departments of Chemistry and
Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. The Pratt Lab
uses aircraft aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry, chemical ionization
mass spectrometry, ambient ion monitor-ion chromatography, and numerical
modeling to study atmospheric chemistry, with a focus on aerosol, trace gas, and snowpack chemistry in the Polar Regions and wintertime environments. </font></p>

Research Fellowship awarded to Prof. Pratt. The post-doc position is expected
to include field deployments, likely to the Arctic and/or Antarctic. Postdoc responsibilities
will include participating in and leading field deployments of the aerosol
time-of-flight mass spectrometer, analyzing and interpreting field measurement data,
mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and preparing manuscripts for
peer-reviewed publication. There may be opportunities to participate in
chemical education efforts.<span></span></font></span></p>
