Researcher in Atmospheric Chemistry at UC Irvine: Reactivity of the

Name: UC Irvine, Department of Earth System Science, Irvine, CA, USA</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%" class=""><br class="">
</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%" class=""><font face="Times New Roman, serif" class="">The
successful candidate will work with Prof. Michael Prather and his
group in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine
(<a href="https://www.ess.uci.edu/group/prather/home" class="">https://www.ess.uci.edu/group/prather/home</a>),
in support of the NASA Atmospheric Tomography EVS-2 mission (ATom;
<a href="https://espo.nasa.gov/atom/content/ATom" class="">https://espo.nasa.gov/atom/content/ATom</a>).
The main focus of research will be understanding of the chemical
heterogeneity of the remote troposphere based on ATom measurements,
identification of chemical species most important in controlling the
reactivity of ozone and methane in the remote troposphere, and how
well globals are able to reproduce observed patterns of
heterogeneity. The candidate will have primary responsibility for
generation of a modeling data stream (MDS) including observations
from all four ATom deployments, distribution of the MDS to
participating model groups and archival on the public ATom data
repository, performing simulations with the UC Irvine chemical
transport model (CTM) based on the MDS, and the first opportunity to
analyze the results of these simulations and model-measurement
comparisons. The postdoctoral researcher will also have the
opportunity to develop their own original sub-project, aligned with
ATom objectives, and in collaboration with investigators
participating in the ATom mission, such as at NOAA and NCAR. The
position will be located at UC Irvine, but will involve in-person and
remote interactions with other teams participating in ATom research.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%" class=""><br class="">
