[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist - Atmospheric Chemistry & Terrestrial Ecology

[Aileen Goldberg]

*Postdoctoral Research Scientist position
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory – Palisades, NY*

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites 
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work with the 
Commane Group. The Commane group works at the intersection of 
atmospheric chemistry and terrestrial ecology. Ongoing projects include 
using carbonyl sulfide (OCS) to understand the mechanisms of mercury 
transport in forests, measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) 
in cities with fragmented forests and poor air quality and understanding 
the drivers of CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the Arctic. Our fieldwork includes 
airborne, tower and eddy flux measurements for sometimes extended 
periods at various locations around New York, New England, Alaska and 
Costa Rica. Our research also includes interpretation of these fluxes 
using a variety of models to capture atmospheric transport and 
terrestrial ecology.

The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will operate laser-based instruments 
to measure OCS at established field sites, analyze the resulting data 
and work with other groups to interpret the total ecosystem fluxes of 
various trace gases. They are expected to prepare data for archival and 
submit publications for peer review. Experience with atmospheric field 
measurements, particularly eddy flux measurements, and trace gas 
calibration is a distinct advantage.

Candidates must have a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry or Physics, 
Biometeorology, Terrestrial Ecology or related field with experience 
measuring trace gases in the atmosphere. Candidate must have authored 
one or more peer-reviewed publications. They must have excellent command 
of English; both written and oral and have experience presenting their 
work at large conferences (e.g. AGU, AMS, etc).

Appointment will be for 1 year, with continuation pending funding and 
research progress.
Search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and 
will continue until the position is filled.

about this position and to submit your application, cover letter, 
curriculum vitae, list of three references, and statement of research.

Columbia University benefits offered with this Officer of Research 
appointment.

Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer
