within NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) in Boulder, Colorado. The
successful candidate will work in the Tropospheric Chemistry program alongside
a number of federal and university employees engaged in research investigating
trace gases and aerosol particles and their impacts on air quality and climate.
Our group develops and uses world-class instrumentation to measure these
species and deploys these instruments on aircraft and at field sites.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This position requires continuing and expanding research
