<p class="paragraph" style="margin:0in;vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun">The research group of Dr. Rebecca Sheesley currently has a graduate assistant position available to study biogenic emissions and atmospheric chemistry in the Alaskan
Arctic. Students will matriculate through the Dept of Environmental Science at Baylor University.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="vertical-align:baseline">BEAR-oNS (Biogenic Emissions and Aerosol Response on the North Slope) is an Arctic study on atmospheric emissions, composition and chemistry on the North Slope of Alaska (funded by the National Science Foundation,
NSF). Climate in the Arctic is changing at a rapid pace. When vegetation reacts to these changes, chemicals called biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) can be released into the atmosphere in new ways. This project seeks to investigate how climate change
affects the quantity and type of BVOCs released into the atmosphere on the North Slope of Alaska (NSA). In addition, we are interested in the chemical reactions these BVOCs undergo in the Arctic atmosphere. Project goals will be accomplished through field
work on the NSA, collection and laboratory analysis of emission and atmospheric samples, and modeling of potential emissions and chemistry. Students on this project will collaborate with researchers at the University of California Riverside and Irvine. Students
will travel to the Arctic for summer field work and measure gas and particle phase organic species using field-based and lab-based mass spectrometry techniques. Applicants are encouraged with previous coursework and/or experience in chemistry or environmental
science. <span class="normaltextrun">Previous experience with air quality or atmospheric chemistry is not required. Application for PhD positions is preferred, but Masters applicants are welcome as well.</span><span class="eop"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="margin:0in;vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun">Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with other research groups at Baylor and present their work at national and international conferences. The Department
of Environmental Science at Baylor University is a growing department with strong support from the University.
