Job Description and Duties
The Atmospheric Processes Research Section (APRS) of the Research Division (RD) is seeking a positive thinking and motivated Air Resources Engineer to lead agricultural air pollution research to address California's immediate and emerging air quality and climate change mitigation objectives.  The incumbent will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to develop progressive and scientifically robust understanding of air pollution emissions, air pollution transport, and atmospheric chemistry that impacts California's air.  The incumbent will use CARB's advanced mobile measurement platform and state-of-the-science air analyzers to lead and conduct in-house research projects to aid the development and the evaluation of NAAQS attainment strategies and climate change mitigation programs.  The incumbent will interconnect internal and external research efforts with California's existing regulations and policies, and will utilize advanced data analysis capabilities and extensive knowledge in atmospheric sciences to distill complex research findings into policy and program relevant presentations, reports, and documents that clearly and effectively communicate their importance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.  The incumbent is expected to manage extramural research contracts and disseminate important research findings through peer-review publications.
