[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Atmospheric Emissions from Copper Smelting (University of Montreal)

[Patrick Hayes]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share the following announcement for a postdoctoral researcher position in my group at University of Montreal.  A full version of the announcement is attached as a PDF, and available also at the following link: https://hayesgroup.wixsite.com/home/Open-Positions .


Professors Patrick Hayes' and James King's research groups, in the Departments of Chemistry and Geography at University of Montreal, are currently seeking to hire a postdoctoral scholar to develop new methods for characterizing the emissions of airborne particulate matter (PM2.5). The planned work is part of a study to better understand the impacts of the smelting industry on air quality in the province of Quebec.

The successful candidate will conduct field work at a site in northern Quebec to deploy a system of optical particle counters (OPCs) and meteorological stations, among other instruments. The resulting data will be utilized to study the emissions from operations and other processes occurring at a smelter such as the transport of raw materials, the smelting of ores, and the aeolian erosion of raw materials.

The position is renewable for a second year. Information regarding salary and benefits can be provided upon request. The postdoctoral scholar will be based at the new Campus MIL in Montreal, with frequent travel (3 - 4 trips per year) to field sites in northern Québec.

Applicants should send a CV, the names of two references, and a brief statement of research interests (approximately 1 page) to Professors Hayes (patrick.hayes at umontreal.ca<mailto:patrick.hayes at umontreal.ca>) and King (js.king at umontreal.ca<mailto:js.king at umontreal.ca>). Priority consideration will be given to applications submitted before August 1st, 2024.  The appointment will begin fall 2024 or winter 2024-2025.


  *   Required qualifications: (1) A Ph.D. degree in atmospheric science, atmospheric chemistry, geography, or a closely related field; (2) experience with measurements of atmospheric aerosols; (3) intermediate or advanced knowledge of spoken and written French, or willingness to learn French; (4) the applicant must have received their Ph.D. diploma within the past 5 years.


  *   Preferred qualifications : (1) Experience conducting and analyzing meteorological measurements, and in particular wind measurements; (2) Previous experience with field work; (3) Knowledge of different methods for mining large datasets (neural networks, etc.).


Best regards,
Patrick Hayes
