answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. </span>If you’re driven to discover, create,
and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" class="">Over the last two decades, tremendous changes have occurred in the landscape of surface emissions along with concomitant variations in climate include the frequency of extreme events. These have led
to significant but still uncertain impacts on global atmospheric composition, air quality, and climate. A number of satellite measurements provide hints at the drivers of these changes, but do not have the vertical sensitivity to separate critical processes.
To that end, the postdoc appointee will be responsible for the development, evaluation, and exploitation of cutting-edge atmospheric retrieval algorithms that combine spectrally resolved radiances from the thermal to the ultraviolet harnessing multiple sensors
including OMPS, OMI, TES, AIRS, CrIS, and TROPOMI. These algorithms, which are part of the MUlti- SpEctra, MUlti-SpEcies, MUlti-SEnsors (MUSES) science data processing architecture, can achieve higher accuracy estimates of critical traces gases such as tropospheric
ozone, methane, and carbon monoxide, than could be obtained from a single sensor. To address these decadal-scale questions, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic team environment that includes Drs. Kevin Bowman, John Worden,
Vivienne Payne, and Kazuyuki Miyazaki. These scientists are focused on chemical data assimilation, air quality, carbon, climate, and their interactions. <a href="https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Bowman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(3, 70, 140); text-decoration: none;" class="">Dr.
Kevin Bowman</a> will serve as JPL postdoctoral advisor to the selected candidate. The appointee will be expected to publish scientific findings in top-tiered peer-reviewed scientific journals as well as presenting results in the related science team meetings,
workshops and conferences.</div>
