RA-PDF Positions in Arctic Troposphere Studies
 
The Arctic Troposphere Transport and Air Quality (ATTAQ) project of the
Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC) has a
new position at the Post Doctoral Level in field studies and modelling
in the area of Arctic aerosol transport and chemistry.  The aims of the
program are to investigate pollutant transport to the Arctic and to
identify source regions as well as the chemical and physical processing
that the particles undergo during transport.  In this way, we hope to
provide information about both the climate and health consequences of
Arctic pollution.
 
The appointee will work from an office at the University of Waterloo and
will coordinate and interpret measurements that are carried out at the
Polar Environmental Atmospheric Research Laboratory at Eureka (80N, 86W)
in Nunavut, Canada.  The instruments available at the PEARL laboratory
for this work include an aerosol mass spectrometer (Aerodyne, Inc.) for
aerosol chemical composition and additional particle measurement
equipment for ground level aerosol number and size distribution
measurements.  In addition, sun and star photometers will be available
for aerosol optical thickness and water vapour column measurements and
spectroscopic instruments (FTIR and UV-Visible) for column abundances
and profiles of other gas phase species.  
 
In addition to the field work, there will be a modelling program
intended to identify source regions and explore chemical processes
occurring during transport.  Both Eulerian chemical transport models and
Lagrangian trajectory models will be used in this work.  Candidates with
experience in mass spectrometry of the condensed phase will be given
preference. 
 
Further information on the technical aspects of the work may be obtained
from Professor J.J. Sloan, Departments of Chemistry and Earth Sciences,
University of Waterloo (http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~sloanj).
