Potential research areas include low-cost air quality sensor implementation and evaluation, investigation of environmental and climate justice via observations and atmospheric chemistry models, constraining emissions or processes in atmospheric models, or other topics mutually agreed upon. The student will work with Dr. Amy Christiansen and will learn how to run and analyze output from global and regional atmospheric chemistry model simulations, analyze observational data from measurement networks, write peer-reviewed journal articles, and present work at conferences.

Desired qualifications:

  *   Background (Bachelors or Masters) in chemistry or a closely-related field
  *   Interest in or experience with data analysis using R or Python languages
  *   Interest in using numerical atmospheric models
  *   Strong interpersonal and written communication skills
  *   Enthusiasm, timeliness, and reliability
  *   Interest in connecting basic science to issues of public health and environmental justice

Interested students should send a 1-page (or less) letter describing their interest and fit along with a current CV to achristiansen at umkc.edu<mailto:achristiansen at umkc.edu>. This position is associated with the Chemistry program within the School of Science and Engineering. Students must meet the admission requirements for this program, which can be found at https://catalog.umkc.edu/colleges-schools/graduate-studies/chemistry/. Applications to the MS or IPhD program in Chemistry are due by April 15, 2023, but are preferred earlier. Students from underrepresented groups in STEM are particularly encouraged to apply.
