</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The University of Virginia’s recently launched Pan-University Environmental Resilience Institute (ERI) is focused on exploring the impact of rapid environmental and social changes on a planetary scale and supports pioneering work that integrates knowledge
about natural systems, technology, and human behavior to inform choices about our future. Leveraging strengths across the university in environmental science & engineering, social sciences, business, law, humanities, art, and design, the Institute supports
transdisciplinary research projects with a strong emphasis on actionable science that can be translated to decision-makers and stakeholders. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Institute’s new CoLab, Urban Air Pollution, Colonial Policies, and their Legacies on the Poor in Dakar, Senegal, seeks to hire a postdoctoral research associate to collaborate with our interdisciplinary and international team studying urban pollution
in Dakar. The associate will be responsible for developing land-use regression modeling of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) across Dakar. To build the model, the associate will work with colleagues at UVA and Cheikh Anta Diop University to enhance the spatial resolution
of NO2 surface measurements currently underway. The associate can be involved in data collection at various levels depending on interest, including use of a Pandora spectrometer and vehicle-based NO2 measurements. In addition, the associate will use observations
from the recently-launched TROPOMI. To investigate drivers and impacts of Dakar’s NO2 pollution, the associate will work with CoLab members with economic, policy, historical, and environmental justice experience.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: A Ph.D. in Geography, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field is required. Experience with land-use regression or other relevant geospatial techniques is required and past work with satellite datasets is preferred.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
