Job Summary


Job Summary


We are looking for a highly motivated research scientist to investigate the
chemical composition of wildfire smoke and the broader climate and air
quality impacts of biomass burning. You will work as part of a highly
specialized team to help operate, maintain, and field-deploy a custom-built
whole-air canister sampling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
(WAS/GC-MS) analysis system used to measure volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) from samples taken aboard research aircraft, mobile laboratories, and
ground sites. 

 

The qualified candidate will work full-time in the Tropospheric Chemistry
Program of the NOAA ESRL Chemical Sciences Division (
<http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/groups/csd7>
www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/groups/csd7) in Boulder, CO and will be a key
participant in airborne sampling as part of the 2019 NOAA/NASA Fire
Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality Experiment
(FIREX-AQ),  <http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/projects/firex/>
https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/projects/firex/

 

Successful candidates are well-rounded, adept with scientific
instrumentation and methodologies, and adaptable to the variabilities of
field research in order to improve our scientific understanding of
atmospheric emissions and chemistry relevant to climate change and air
quality issues. We are looking for inquisitive, goal-oriented scientists who
can think logically, learn quickly, work efficiently, communicate
effectively, and work independently as well as collaboratively within a
group.

Who We Are


Who We Are


At CIRES, the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences,
more than 800 environmental scientists work to understand the dynamic Earth
system, including people's relationship with the planet. CIRES is a
partnership of NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder, and our areas of
expertise include weather and climate, changes at the Earth's poles, air
quality and atmospheric chemistry, water resources, and solid Earth
sciences. Our vision is to be instrumental in ensuring a sustainable future
environment by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth
system.

 

In the Chemical Sciences Division (CSD), of the NOAA, Earth System Research
Laboratory, researchers build instruments to make precise measurements,
conduct laboratory experiments, design and operate field missions, analyze
observations, and use sophisticated computer models to better understand how
our changing atmosphere is influencing climate - and therefore people.
