[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Opportunity - U. of Michigan (Kort group)

[Eric Kort]

Postdoctoral fellow in atmospheric science

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available with Prof. Eric Kort’s research group at the University of Michigan (http://clasp-research.engin.umich.edu/faculty/kort/ <http://clasp-research.engin.umich.edu/faculty/kort/>) with an anticipated start date in Fall 2021 though earlier or later start dates are possible.  There are opportunities to be involved with a number of active projects seeking to use atmospheric observations to better quantify, attribute, and understand sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.  

In particular, there are openings to work on advancing our understanding of oil and gas methane and nitrogen oxide emissions as part of the F3UEL project <http://graham.umich.edu/f3uel>, as well as to advance our understanding of tropical wetland emissions by combining new inundation observations from the CYGNSS satellite with TROPOMI methane observations.  This position will involve the use of modeling tools to interpret airborne and space-based measurements and link observations to underlying fluxes.  In this position the research fellow will be expected to interact with a broad scientific team across multiple institutes. 

Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant science or engineering field. Experience with transport modeling (such as STILT, Flexpart, WRF, GEOS-Chem) and/or experience with inverse modeling and/or satellite observations is preferred though not required. 

Please email a CV, a cover letter describing research experience and goals, and contact information for three references to eakort at umich.edu <mailto:eakort at umich.edu> using the subject line: ATTN: Postdoctoral Search.  

The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
