PhD & MS student positions in Atmospheric Modeling and Health/Policy 
Analysis
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dept. of Environmental 
Sciences and Engineering

I am looking for at least one new PhD or MS student to join the Climate 
Health and Air Quality Lab at UNC 
(http://www.unc.edu/~jjwest/chaq.html). Two positions are available:

- An EPA-funded project focusing on downscaling of meteorology and air 
quality from future global simulations, accounting for climate change, 
to understand air quality in the US at fine resolution, using the WRF, 
SMOKE, and CMAQ models.

- I am always looking for students interested in relating atmospheric 
modeling with health impact analysis and policy analysis.  Examples of 
our recent work in this area are:

I am open to candidates with a variety of backgrounds, but backgrounds 
in engineering and strong computer skills are preferred.

Candidates may apply to start in January or August 2016.  For January 
2016 admission, applications should be received by October 13, 2015.  
Please apply through my department's website 
(http://sph.unc.edu/envr/environmental-sciences-and-engineering-home/). 
Please contact me with questions.
