Arizona Message-ID: <65F3D42A-41FE-477E-8D06-55FF16629596@arizona.edu> The Robinson Research Group (https://ellissrobinson.github.io/recruiting/) at the University of Arizona is seeking to fill two funded Ph.D. student openings to conduct research in the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering beginning Fall 2024. Our single driving research question is: ?Who breathes what?? We apply experimental and field measurement techniques to address pollution challenges in urban air, answer questions about what we breathe indoors, and assess the impacts of emissions sources. Better understanding exposure and associated health impacts of air pollutants is behind all of our research. Description of opportunities: There will be opportunities to study air pollutant composition, transformation, and variation within a variety of settings. One example opportunity will be to design and lead mobile air quality monitoring to inform health impacts assessments in Tucson and elsewhere. This project will require and build skills in experimental design, gas and particle measurement, spatial data analysis, and research communication to a wide audience, as well as working in collaboration with researchers in other fields (e.g., public health). Another example opportunity will be to use coupled indoor-outdoor aerosol composition and size measurements to better understand both outdoor and indoor air quality in under-explored contexts (e.g., the rapidly-urbanizing southwestern U.S., and elsewhere). The project will quantify outdoor-to-indoor aerosol transformations in a hot, arid environment. The student leading the project will build skills in real-time aerosol instrumentation (e.g., aerosol mass spectrometry), building science, experimental design, and time series analysis, and work in collaboration with a distributed network of low-cost air quality sensors maintained by researchers from other fields (e.g., meteorology, public health). Additional research opportunities in exposure assessment, risk analysis, toxicity assays, and elemental composition determination may exist as well, depending on each student?s area of focus and interests. Qualifications: Successful applicants will be motivated, curious, communicative, and discovery-oriented. A desire to work on applied, socially-relevant air quality issues is key. Past research experience in air quality and/or aerosol science is a plus, but not a must. Demonstrated interest in scientific research is required, and past achievements are an asset. Applicants should have a Bachelor?s or Master?s degree in engineering, atmospheric or environmental sciences, or another closely-related field. Demonstrated interest and aptitude in both laboratory measurements and fieldwork are ideal, as are skills in programming and data analysis (e.g., R, Python, Igor Pro). Interested individuals should apply to either the Chemical Engineering or Environmental Engineering Ph.D. programs at University of Arizona?s Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering (https://apply.grad.arizona.edu). Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2024. Please direct specific inquiries to Dr. Ellis Robinson (esrobinson at arizona.edu).

In the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton you will join a community of >500 researchers and support staff drawn from across the sciences, with a strong focus the marine environment, to work on a project reconstructing ocean pH change across a key climate event in the recent geological past: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). Location: National Oceanography Centre Southampton, UK Salary: ?34,980 to ?38,205 Full Time Fixed Term Closing Date: Wednesday 31 January 2024 Interview Date: To be confirmed Reference: 2569324HN This post is funded through a multidisciplinary grant entitled "C-FORCE: Carbon-Cycle Feedbacks from Response to Carbon Emissions", a Large Grant funded by the NERC and NSF-GEO involving 6 universities from the UK and US. The post will be line management by Prof Gavin Foster (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/staff/glf1u08.page) with regular meetings and interactions with the rest of the C-Force consortium led by Dr Sarah Greene (Birmingham; https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/gees/greene-sarah.aspx). Anthropogenic climate change has no ancient analogue but, in the last 60 million years, the hyperthermals of the early Cenozoic come the closest. Here you will apply the boron isotope pH proxy to quantify ocean acidification and CO2 change across the PETM as part of a wider effort by the C-FORCE consortium to constrain the roles of volcanic forcing and carbon cycle feedbacks as drivers of global environmental change. Unlike previous studies that used bulk measurements of foraminifera of deep-sea sediment cores, you will use laser ablation multicollector ICPMS of single specimens of benthic foraminifera collected from the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of the US to provide a uniquely high temporal resolution view of surface ocean pH change during the PETM. The geochemical data will be combined with modelling of the sediment mixing process coupled to biogeochemical modelling (cGENIE) carried out by our collaborators in C-FORCE, to fully quantify the carbon addition that accompanied the PETM and better constrain the nature of the onset of the event itself (e.g. was the onset associated with more than one pulses of carbon). The School of Ocean and Earth Science is committed to create an inclusive and diverse scientific community (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/equality-diversity-and-inclusion.page). University of Southampton offers a range of benefits to support employee wellbeing including early career faculty mentoring at SOES, flexible working, family friendly policies, occupational health services, employee assistance programme and sport and wellbeing facilities. All qualified candidates will be considered regardless of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion as outlined in the Equality Act (2010). A successful candidate should have: * A PhD (or equivalent) in the Physical Sciences in the general area of geochemistry or palaeoceanography/paleoclimatology. * Experience with laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry or similar. * Experience with working with foraminifera, or other marine carbonate, to reconstruct past climate states. * Be experienced combining geochemical data sets with numeric modelling. * Experience with scientific communication/publication. * Demonstrate strong drive, ambition and motivation, with the capacity to deliver on challenging tasks and to meet deadlines both individually and as part of a large team. This post is a fixed-term appointment for approximately 2 years and 9 months and may involve a component of field work as part of an ICDP expedition.

America is a program of the Geological Society of America (GSA), operated in partnership with government agencies and other organizations committed to science and stewardship. Current partners include the federal agencies like the USDA Forest Service. This program offers paid short-term geoscience opportunities in some of the most beautiful natural areas in the world. Topic areas include geology, hydrology, paleontology, mapping and GIS, minerals, soils, glaciology, geohazards, karst, education, and interpretation. The GeoCorps program helps geoscientists engage their skills in addressing the scientific and resource management needs of America's federal public lands. The program coordinates projects with professionals at the USDA Forest Service and other agencies, in order to complete geoscience-related work that might not otherwise be possible. GeoCorps projects offer unique experiences to grow professionally, complete meaningful work, and increase the number of geoscientists on the ground advancing the management, research, education and outreach, and stewardship of geologic resources nationwide. Program Goals *Increase the number of geoscientists conducting education, research, and resource management projects on America's public lands; *Enhance the geoscience knowledge available to resource managers and policy makers so better decisions can be made regarding the management of natural resources and mitigation of geological hazards; *Provide hands-on geoscience experience and internships for aspiring professionals who are working toward careers in industry, academia, or land management; *Offer seasoned geoscientists the opportunity to share their knowledge with land managers and assist with onsite projects; *Raise the public's knowledge and awareness of the value of geoscience resources on public lands; *Instill a public land ethic in current and future generations of geoscientists by having the opportunity to learn and understand federal land management; and *Enhance the diversity of geoscientists working on America's public lands. Program Scope Opportunities take place in some of the most beautiful areas nationwide, and span a wide variety of geoscience-related fields: paleontology, caves and karst, geohazards, mapping and applied GIS, hydrology, fluid and solid minerals, soils, and more. Most GeoCorps participants are relatively new geoscientists in the early phases of building their careers, for whom it is beneficial to spend the summer at a National Forest or on other federal public lands gaining on-the-ground experience in geology and geoscience-related work. Their knowledge and skills enable them to assist public lands in meaningful ways with important geoscience projects. Many public lands also have higher-needs projects that require a specific background, level of expertise, or require a longer-term project that extends beyond a summer season. Public land managers are also able to submit geology and geoscience-related projects to GeoCorps that require up to one year?s time on site, and/or expertise within a specific geoscience field. Qualified candidates who meet the program eligibility criteria can apply for these opportunities. Learn more about the experiences of GeoCorps alumni via GSA's guest blog, Speaking of Geoscience.

The researcher will join the Impacts Analysis Group within SEAC, alongside researchers who perform a variety of environmental sustainability assessments of energy technologies. With objective, technology-neutral analysis, SEAC aims to increase understanding of energy policies, markets, resources, technologies, and infrastructure to address U.S. economic, security, and environmental priorities. SEAC researchers employ a wide range of advanced modeling methods and tools to assess the impacts of energy technologies, including air quality, public health and environmental justice models and tools as well as code-based life cycle assessment (LCA) models. Description of capabilities and recent projects can be found here: https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/air-quality.html. SEAC, in partnership with other Centers at NREL, is being asked to quantify the air quality impacts and benefits of energy technologies in a range of domestic and international contexts. We seek applicants interested in a diverse set of source sectors and project applications, interested in developing new air quality/impact methods as well as developing innovative computation solutions. Air quality model development is not the mission of this group; we mainly enhance and apply existing air quality models. Several bodies of work exist at NREL with emissions inventory, air quality modeling, health impact analysis and environmental justice foci. One body of work focuses on assessing the impact of power system transformation on air quality, collaborating with NREL?s core capability in power sector modeling from decadal to sub-minute timescales (see, e.g., https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/electric-sector-integration.html). For this work, we work both domestically and internationally. We employ reduced complexity air quality models (like InMAP, as well as its global version, Global InMAP), source-specific models (like R-Line or SCICHEM) and are waiting for the right opportunity to use traditional, state-of-the-science air quality models (like WRF-Chem or CMAQ/CMAQ-ISAM). Our projects examine a range of spatial scales from multi-country regions (like SE Asia), national and metropolitan. A flagship example of this modeling is the air quality, health and environmental justice portions of LA100 (see Chapters 9 and 10 here as well as follow-on LA100-Equity Strategies study on truck electrification). Another emerging body of work focuses on use of hydrogen in combustion systems (e.g., to replace natural gas in combustion turbines for peaking loads). Our international portfolio is also growing (see a fact sheet). A good example of a completed project examined the air quality and health implications of greater use of renewable energy in the power sector of Southeast Asia. Finally, we have been characterizing emissions from the supply chain of biofuels for many years (https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/biofuels-emissions.html). NREL has advanced scientific computing capabilities within its Energy Systems Integration Facility. Applicants are sought that can bring our emerging air quality modeling capability to the next level with machine learning and advanced computing to answer challenging questions at greater spatial, temporal and global scales. The ideal candidate will have competency in using a wide range of computer tools, programming languages (e.g., Python, R, Fortran) and shell scripting (bash, cshell), as well as demonstrated experience in atmospheric and air quality modeling. Experience with machine learning and advanced computing (e.g., high-performance computing environment) to answer challenging questions at greater spatial, temporal, and global scales is highly desirable. Also desirable is an interest in adjacent disciplines and fields such as life cycle assessment, greenhouse gas inventories, air pollution measurement, citizen science, atmospheric sciences, etc. Knowledge of at least one energy sector (e.g., power, transportation) will be considered a plus. The candidate should have strong written communication skills, interest in leading drafting of publications; be highly motivated and self-directed; eager to join a fast-paced collaborative work environment; have an ability to ?manage up?; and be available to start ideally before end of Winter (start date will be one important factor in prioritizing candidates).

ABOUT THE LAFI PROJECT: The quality of weather forecasts, seasonal simulations, and climate projections depends critically on the adequate representation of land-atmosphere (L-A) feedbacks. These feedbacks are the result of a highly complex network of processes and variables related to the exchange of momentum, energy, and mass. Significant challenges persist in understanding processes and feedbacks, which this initiative will address. The Land-Atmosphere Feedback Initiative (LAFI) is an interdisciplinary consortium, led by the University of Hohenheim, of researchers from atmospheric, agricultural, and soil sciences as well as from bio-geo-physics, hydrology, and neuroinformatics proposing a novel combination of advanced research methods. The overarching goal of LAFI is to understand and quantify L-A feedbacks via unique synergistic observations and model simulations from the micro-gamma (? 2 m) to the meso-gamma (? 2 km) scales across diurnal to seasonal time scales. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Julia Pongratz LMU Munich, Department of Geography Luisenstr. 37, 80333 Munich, Germany http://www.geographie.uni-muenchen.de/department/personen/pongratz-julia.php julia.pongratz at lmu.de phone: (+49 89) 2180 - 6652 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Work will be carried out within the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, a global leader in agricultural research and education. Applicants will benefit from access to premier resources such as an agricultural research farm, research greenhouses, lab spaces equipped for soil chemical and microbiological work, and teaching opportunities if desired. 1. One project will be field-based at the UMass Crop and Animal Research and Education Farm. This project will focus on how sustainable farming methods ? including the timing, management, and choice of cover crop and soil amendments ? alter soil carbon and nutrient cycling along the rooting profile. The goal is to find management solutions that enhance soil carbon and microbial nutrient turnover while benefiting cash crop production. The ideal candidate for this project would be a PhD applicant with an MS in soil science, agroecology, or a related field, or with a BS degree and 1+ years of experience as laboratory and/or field technician or farm/soil health work. A strong applicant should have the following scientific skills and other qualities: ? Educational or hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture or soil health ? Experience with experimental design and common statistics (linear regression, multivariate regression, non-parametric methods, machine learning methods, blocked and nested design) ? Interest in the connection between agricultural management decisions and soil health ? Experience with soil biogeochemical techniques (nutrient analysis, organic carbon quantification and chemistry, texture and structure, soil moisture, microbial activity assays) ? Proficiency with a programming language such as R or Python ? 1-2 peer-reviewed articles in a related field ? Ability to design and implement an independent research project, including time-management, ordering equipment, managing a research team including field techs and interns, and collecting and analyzing data ? Strong written and oral scientific communication skills ? Commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive research environment ? Career aspirations in agricultural or soil science research or extension 2. A second laboratory-based project will explore the complex dynamics of mineral-associated organic matter, a pool of carbon thought to persist long-term in soils and thus used as a management goal and indicator of success in sustainable farming and land management. This project will explore the dynamics of mineral-associated carbon under various redox conditions representative of flooding or irrigation events. A focus will include how the nutrient content of the carbon and the soil environment control its accessibility to soil microbes and thus its potential for turnover and accumulation, two key measurements that define whether this stable carbon enhances soil fertility and ecosystem services as a microbial substrate. The ideal candidate for this project would be a postdoctoral applicant with a PhD in soil chemistry/biogeochemistry/science/ecology or in a related field with expertise in these areas. PhD applicants will also be considered. A strong applicant should have the following scientific skills and other qualities: ? A graduate degree in soil science, geochemistry, geomicrobiology, or related field ? Experience with experimental design and common statistics (linear regression, multivariate regression, non-parametric methods, machine learning methods, blocked and nested design) ? Experience with soil and/or geochemical lab techniques (nutrient analysis, organic carbon quantification and chemistry, mineralogy, microbial activity and biomass assays, incubations) ? Proficiency with a programming language such as R or Python ? 1-2 or more peer-reviewed articles in a related field ? Ability to design and implement an independent research project, including time-management, ordering equipment, managing a research team including graduate students and interns, and collecting and analyzing data ? Commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive research environment ? Strong written and oral scientific communication skills CONTACT Position start dates are flexible between June and August of 2024. Interested applicants should reach out to the PI, Hannah Naughton, at hnaughton at umass.edu. *Potential graduate students should note a 02/01/2024 deadline to apply*: https://www.umass.edu/stockbridge/academics/graduate-degrees All candidates should have prepared their official transcripts, CV, two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a TOEFL or IELTS test if English is not their native language. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you interested in working with research aimed to better understand the spreading of PFASs and their mitigation in the soil-groundwater system, with the support of competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Are you looking for an employer that invests in sustainable employeeship and offers safe, favourable working conditions? We welcome you to apply for a Postdoctoral position in "subsurface contaminant transport modelling" at Uppsala University. The Department of Earth Sciences at UU is Sweden?s largest and most versatile department of its kind with approximately 280 employees. The Department and, in particular, the research program for Air, Water and Landscape Science, has a long tradition of research on subsurface flow and contaminant transport, numerical modelling and model development as well as remediation studies related to contaminated soil, groundwater and sediments, including close collaboration with partners in industry and society. Our activities are interdisciplinary and combine natural science and technology with social science. For more information: The Department of Earth Sciences Project description Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are extremely persistent, harmful chemicals that have a complex transport behaviour in the environment. To assess risks associated with PFAS migration and the effects of remediation measures at contaminated hotspots, there is a great need for improved process understanding as well as modelling tools to predict PFAS transport in soil-groundwater systems. A promising technique to limit the spreading of PFAS further into the environment and to drinking-water resources is in-situ stabilisation with activated carbon. As part of a governmental assignment to mitigate PFAS contamination (RU PFAS), the Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) together with the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU) are testing soil mixing and direct injection of activated carbon for in-situ stabilisation of PFAS at contaminated sites and are thereby generating a large dataset of PFAS distribution in space and time including the effects of in-situ stabilisation. Modelling of the transport and adsorption processes is an important component for the interpretation and analysis of the results and their implications. However, existing modelling tools for PFAS fate and transport have not been thoroughly tested (in particular, against field data) and are in need of further development with respect to several PFAS-specific processes, such as; adsorption to air-water interfaces in the unsaturated zone, transformation of precursors and competition effects between different PFAS both concerning sorption to material interfaces and to sorbents. Duties The postdoctor to be employed will work with evaluation and development of modelling tools aimed to better understand the fate and transport of PFAS in the subsurface, and in particular, how this is affected by in-situ stabilisation. Modelling tools that can be relevant include among others MODFLOW-based solute-transport models, Hydrus, COMSOL, TOUGH2 or similar programs. The work will be performed under supervision of Prof. Fritjof Fagerlund at UU and is also a close collaboration with SGI and SGU, where researchers at SGI also participate. The aim is to both develop modelling tools that can aid evaluation and design of in-situ stabilisation measures for PFAS and to contribute to the evaluation of SGI's and SGU's pilot scale in-situ stabilisation tests within RU PFAS. The project is expected to contribute to improved models for prediction of sub-surface PFAS fate and transport as well as the effects of stabilisation using activated carbon. This will include also comparison of different models, methods of applying them and verification against field data. The results will be published in international scientific journals and will also be summarized in a technical report aimed at elucidating the practical applicability of the results. Requirements PhD degree in hydrogeology, hydrology, environmental engineering, engineering geology or equivalent or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree. The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. Those who have obtained a PhD degree three years prior to the application deadline are primarily considered for the employment. The starting point of the three-year frame period is the application deadline. Due to special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. The three-year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc. Excellent ability to communicate in English both in writing and orally is required. Additional qualifications Knowledge about transport processes in the soil-groundwater system as well as experience of subsurface flow- and/or transport modelling are central to this position. Experience or knowledge about remediation techniques for contaminants in soil-groundwater systems is considered a merit. Personal qualities are very important. We are looking for individuals who are goal oriented, possess strong analytical abilities, have excellent capability to collaborate with others and are structured and well-organized.

DGVMs that represent demography of vegetation communities -- the distribution of plants of different sizes -- offer a promising, still emerging computational framework. Satellite lidar data are now also emerging as a means to quantify observed vertical canopy structure. Our group pursues studies to incorporate such data into a demographic DGVM coupled to the NASA GISS Model Earth System Model. We use satellite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), and other Earth observing missions. Postdoctoral fellows are invited to propose research incorporating lidar observations of vegetation at the site, regional and/or global scales. Studies could involve, but are not limited to: (1) radiative transfer and albedo (2) plant allometry to constrain canopy structure, vegetation biomass, and radiative transfer metrics (3) development of new satellite lidar data products estimating vegetation demography or landscape structure (5) coupled climate-carbon cycle simulation experiments that may incorporate any of the above, including climate change, seasonality, fire dynamics.

We encourage anyone who is interested in this opportunity to apply. We seek dedicated people who believe they have the skills and ambition to succeed at NREL to apply for this role. Job Description The National Renewable Energy Laboratory?s (NREL?s) Strategic Energy Analysis Center (SEAC; www.nrel.gov/analysis) is seeking a researcher with strong programming experience who can, under supervision and mentorship, independently lead the modeling and analysis of more than one project within a growing portfolio of air quality, public health and environmental justice-related projects. The researcher will join the Impacts Analysis Group within SEAC, alongside researchers who perform a variety of environmental sustainability assessments of energy technologies. With objective, technology-neutral analysis, SEAC aims to increase understanding of energy policies, markets, resources, technologies, and infrastructure to address U.S. economic, security, and environmental priorities. SEAC researchers employ a wide range of advanced modeling methods and tools to assess the impacts of energy technologies, including air quality, public health and environmental justice models and tools as well as code-based life cycle assessment (LCA) models. Description of capabilities and recent projects can be found here: https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/air-quality.html. SEAC, in partnership with other Centers at NREL, is being asked to quantify the air quality impacts and benefits of energy technologies in a range of domestic and international contexts. We seek applicants interested in a diverse set of source sectors and project applications, interested in developing new air quality/impact methods as well as developing innovative computation solutions. Air quality model development is not the mission of this group; we mainly enhance and apply existing air quality models. Several bodies of work exist at NREL with emissions inventory, air quality modeling, health impact analysis and environmental justice foci. One body of work focuses on assessing the impact of power system transformation on air quality, collaborating with NREL?s core capability in power sector modeling from decadal to sub-minute timescales (see, e.g., https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/electric-sector-integration.html). For this work, we work both domestically and internationally. We employ reduced complexity air quality models (like InMAP, as well as its global version, Global InMAP), source-specific models (like R-Line or SCICHEM) and are waiting for the right opportunity to use traditional, state-of-the-science air quality models (like WRF-Chem or CMAQ/CMAQ-ISAM). Our projects examine a range of spatial scales from multi-country regions (like SE Asia), national and metropolitan. A flagship example of this modeling is the air quality, health and environmental justice portions of LA100 (see Chapters 9 and 10 here as well as follow-on LA100-Equity Strategies study on truck electrification). Another emerging body of work focuses on use of hydrogen in combustion systems (e.g., to replace natural gas in combustion turbines for peaking loads). Our international portfolio is also growing (see a fact sheet). A good example of a completed project examined the air quality and health implications of greater use of renewable energy in the power sector of Southeast Asia. Finally, we have been characterizing emissions from the supply chain of biofuels for many years (https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/biofuels-emissions.html). NREL has advanced scientific computing capabilities within its Energy Systems Integration Facility. Applicants are sought that can bring our emerging air quality modeling capability to the next level with machine learning and advanced computing to answer challenging questions at greater spatial, temporal and global scales. The ideal candidate will have competency in using a wide range of computer tools, programming languages (e.g., Python, R, Fortran) and shell scripting (bash, cshell), as well as demonstrated experience in atmospheric and air quality modeling. Experience with machine learning and advanced computing (e.g., high-performance computing environment) to answer challenging questions at greater spatial, temporal, and global scales is highly desirable. Also desirable is an interest in adjacent disciplines and fields such as life cycle assessment, greenhouse gas inventories, air pollution measurement, citizen science, atmospheric sciences, etc. Knowledge of at least one energy sector (e.g., power, transportation) will be considered a plus. The candidate should have strong written communication skills, interest in leading drafting of publications; be highly motivated and self-directed; eager to join a fast-paced collaborative work environment; have an ability to ?manage up?; and be available to start ideally before end of Winter (start date will be one important factor in prioritizing candidates). .
