capacity of the Section. The incumbents are expected to conduct technical and scientific evaluations of existing transportation research, investigate scientific methods of manipulating and interpreting large transportation datasets, identify research needs
for mobile source programs and policies, initiate and conduct policy-relevant in-house and extramural research, and to inform the mobile source programs and policy development. The incumbents are also expected to critically evaluate research proposals and
reports, prepare technical research reports and documents, produce scientific papers to support emission control and greenhouse gas reduction policies for on-road vehicles, off-road equipment, and integrated transportation systems, and maintain productive
interactions with CARB mobile source programs, regional air quality management organizations, federal governments, scientific community, as well as national, and international stakeholders.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Department Information<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Climate Change Mitigation and Emissions Research Section in Research Division develops and conducts policy-relevant in-house and extramural research to advance the science and to support CARB mobile source programs and policies. Current
research includes efforts to better understand the discrepancy between certification and real-world emission levels, achieve further emission reductions from on-road vehicles and off-road equipment, track and model the effect of various regulatory options
to achieve real-world emission reduction targets using laboratory, PEMS, remote-sensing, and engine and activity data-logging technologies, and understand non-tailpipe emissions such as brake-wear, tire-wear, and resuspended roadside dust. The Section is also
responsible for programs to reduce emissions of high global warming potential greenhouse gases from mobile air conditioners and to investigate the effect on emissions from advanced vehicle and low carbon fuel technologies. The Section conducts large data-driven
technical analyses, provides expert opinions to decision-makers, networks with internal, national and international stakeholders, and publishes research findings.<o:p></o:p></p>
