<p>The Earth and Environmental Sciences Division (EES) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) seeks outstanding postdoctoral candidates to perform world-class experimental atmospheric aerosol and greenhouse gas research in an interdisciplinary environment
to solve problems in climate, energy and national security. The candidate will be part of the Center for Aerosol-gas Forensic Experiments (CAFÉ) that includes aerosol chemistry, microphysics and optical property instrumentation: soot particle high resolution
aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS), single particle soot photometer (SP2), multiple wavelength Photoacoustic Soot Spectrometers (PASS: 375, 405, 532, 781 nm), Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift Particle Extinctiometer (CAPS PMex), Laser aerosol sizer, scanning
mobility particle sizer, centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA), and potential aerosol monitor (PAM). Trace gas capabilities include laser based trace gas (Picarros-CRDs) instruments and solar spectrometers for regional trace gas monitoring (Bruker 125HR,
EM27-SUN).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The candidate will design and conduct laboratory and field studies focused on biomass burning, fossil combustion and/or explosion processes and signatures for climate science and chemical forensics. Collaborations with fire and explosion dynamics modeling
groups in EES, particularly using measurements to improve treatments of the fate, transport, and effects of mixed light absorbing aerosols are expected. There will be opportunities to participate in DOE aerosol field campaigns and for regional greenhouse gas
flux verification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The successful applicant should be independent, experienced with aerosol mass spectrometry, real-time single particle aerosol and trace gas measurements, have a strong publication record, and is expected to publish scientific findings in high impact peer-reviewed
journals. Exceptionally qualified candidates with stellar publications will be considered for competitive distinguished postdoctoral fellowships described at Postdoc Program.<o:p></o:p></p>
