[ES_JOBS_NET] NASA-Funded Research Assistantship (M.S. or Ph.D.) at Florida State University to Study Trace Gas Transport in Deep Convection

[Nick Heath]

*NASA-Funded Research Assistantship (M.S. or Ph.D.) at Florida State
University to Study Trace Gas Transport in Deep Convection*



We have a position available for an M.S. or Ph.D. student to perform
research using aircraft data and chemical transport modeling.  General
details are provided below.  If you are interested, please email Dr. Nick
Heath (nheath at aer.com) and Dr. Henry Fuelberg (hfuelberg at fsu.edu) with your
resume/CV, unofficial transcript, and a brief (1 paragraph) introduction
about yourself and your research interests.



We look forward to hearing from you!



*Overview:*

This is a research assistant position leading to an M.S. or Ph.D. in
meteorology at Florida State University (FSU).  The 3-yr research effort
will be funded by NASA’s Atmospheric Composition Campaign Data Analysis and
Modeling Program.   The project involves combining well-established and
advanced modeling with NASA-sponsored aircraft and satellite observations
to answer fundamental scientific questions about deep convective trace gas
transport.  Specifically, the project involves synthesizing aircraft
measurements from DC3 and SEAC4RS, data assimilation, WRF-Chem modeling,
and WRF large-eddy simulations to study chemical transport in
thunderstorms.  In addition to the thesis/dissertation resulting from the
research, the student must satisfy FSU’s additional standard requirements
to earn the M.S. or Ph.D. degrees. The student will be advised by Dr. Henry
Fuelberg, and Dr. Nick Heath will also serve as an outside committee
member.



*The preferred start date is January 2022.*
