chemistry, and climate change at urban to regional scales.
The successful applicant will be expected to help lead and grow the WSU
AIRPACT air quality forecast system operations.
The selected applicant will be expected to teach graduate and
undergraduate air quality and environmental engineering
courses, direct graduate student research, and develop a strong
extramurally funded research program. The position
requirements include:
1) expertise within the range of available urban to regional
scale atmospheric chemistry models with applications to air
quality, atmospheric chemistry, and/or climate change, 2) a record of
research accomplishments as demonstrated by peer
reviewed publications and/or extramural grants, 3) demonstrated ability
to work with diverse, interdisciplinary teams in a
collegial and collaborative manner, 4) a record of outreach, mentoring,

DEPARTMENT - The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is
one of five departments within the Voiland
College of Engineering and Architecture. The department has an active
research program with approximately $7 million in
external annual funding. The department maintains teaching loads in
undergraduate and graduate instruction at attractive
levels in order to allow time for research development and scholarly
activities. Additional information about the department
is available at http://www.ce.wsu.edu.
The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research is an air quality and climate
change research group with a strong reputation for
both measurement and modeling studies of air quality, atmospheric
chemistry, and climate change (http://www.lar.wsu.edu).
There are nine faculty members in LAR, and the group collaborates with
WSU faculty and outside scientists across a broad
range of topics. The LAR is a focal point for measurement and
modeling studies supported through the Northwest Air
Quality Environmental Science & Technology (NW-AIRQUEST)
consortium, which includes active participation by
federal, state, and local air quality agencies throughout the Northwest
(http://lar.wsu.edu/nw-airquest/). In this role, LAR
is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance and development of
the AIRPACT regional air quality forecast system
(http://lar.wsu.edu/airpact/).
APPLICATION PROCESS - Applicants should apply online at
https://www.wsujobs.com by submitting the following: a
cover letter, a detailed resume, a statement of research and
teaching interests, and a list of five references with contact
