<p><b><span>Postdoctoral Research Scientist position<br>
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory – Palisades, NY</span></b></p>
<p><span></span><span>The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of
Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral
Research Scientist to work with the Commane Group. The Commane
group works at the intersection of atmospheric chemistry and
terrestrial ecology. Ongoing projects include using carbonyl
sulfide (<span class="caps"><span>OCS</span></span>) to
understand the mechanisms of mercury transport in forests,
measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in cities with
fragmented forests and poor air quality and understanding the
drivers of CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the Arctic. Our fieldwork
includes airborne, tower and eddy flux measurements for
sometimes extended periods at various locations around New York,
New England, Alaska and Costa Rica. Our research also includes
interpretation of these fluxes using a variety of models to
capture atmospheric transport and terrestrial ecology. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span>The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will operate
laser-based instruments to measure <span class="caps"><span>OCS</span></span> at
established field sites, analyze the resulting data and work
with other groups to interpret the total ecosystem fluxes of
various trace gases. They are expected to prepare data for
archival and submit publications for peer review. Experience
with atmospheric field measurements, particularly eddy flux
measurements, and trace gas calibration is a distinct advantage.</span><span> </span>
</p>
<p><span>Candidates must have a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry or
Physics, Biometeorology, Terrestrial Ecology or related field
with experience measuring trace gases in the atmosphere.
Candidate must have authored one or more peer-reviewed
publications. They must have excellent command of English; both
written and oral and have experience presenting their work at
large conferences (e.g. <span class="caps"><span>AGU</span></span>, <span
class="caps"><span>AMS</span></span>, etc).</span></p>
<p><span>Appointment will be for 1 year, with continuation pending
funding and research progress.<br>
Search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad
appears and will continue until the position is filled.<br>
