Job Description and Duties
The Atmospheric Processes Research Section (APRS) of the Research Division (RD) conducts research needed to efficiently achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and California's climate change mitigation goals. Research conducted under APRS supports the development of the State Implementation Plans (SIPs), evaluates the short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emission reduction strategies, improves the characterization of various air pollutant emission sources, and takes preemptive steps to study the effects of climate change on California's air quality. The APRS leverages scientific knowledge, internal air monitoring and analysis capabilities, contracts, and partnerships with various stakeholders to improve the robustness of CARB's policy and regulatory decisions.

Under the close supervision of the APRS Air Resources Supervisor I, the Air Pollution Specialist (APS) will work with various stakeholders to design and manage research studies that address California's emerging air quality and climate change mitigation challenges. The APS will use and develop sophisticated analysis techniques (e.g., CTMs, source apportionment models), in-house measurement tools (e.g., mobile measurement platforms), and or various databases (e.g., emission inventory, satellite remote sensing) to study urban sources (e.g. consumer products), agricultural operations (e.g. dairies), and or exceptional events (e.g. wildfires) that are related to air pollution. The topic of research will evolve based on the agency's needs. Additional duties include stakeholder engagement; development of guidance documents for future research projects; presentations to technical and non-technical stakeholders; and leading and or assisting field campaigns.

Equal Opportunity Employer
The State of California is an equal opportunity employer to all, regardless of age, ancestry, color, disability (mental and physical), exercising the right to family care and medical leave, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, military or veteran status, national origin, political affiliation, race, religious creed, sex (includes pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and related medical conditions), and sexual orientation.
It is an objective of the State of California to achieve a drug-free workplace. Any applicant for state employment will be expected to behave in accordance with this objective because the use of illegal drugs is inconsistent with the law of the State, the rules governing Civil Service, and the special trust placed in public servants.

Best Regards,

Toshi
