Postdoctoral Associate: Geostationary measurements of atmospheric chemistry

About the Job

Join us! Our atmospheric chemistry group <https://atmoschem.umn.edu/> at
the University of Minnesota (UMN) is seeking applications for a
Postdoctoral Associate to work on space-based measurements for atmospheric
chemistry with the new generation of geostationary infrared (IR) satellite
instruments. The geostationary IR data will provide new information to
understand the emissions and impacts of
key atmospheric chemicals on an hourly basis, and this project will also
inform planning for the forthcoming NOAA GXS satellite instrument.
