<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; color: black;" lang="EN-US">Professor Patrick Hayes’ research group at University of Montreal is currently searching for a postdoctoral scientist to work on several aspects of modelling biomass-burning emissions
and related atmospheric processes as part of a team including university and government scientists. This position is funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) as part of the project
<i>Biomass Burning in Canada (BBCan): Addressing Climate and Air Quality Impacts</i>.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; color: black;" lang="EN-US">The successful candidate will perform model experiments using GEOS-Chem, then evaluate the model results against field observations and contribute to a model intercomparison. The focus
of the study will be on the concentrations and radiative properties of aerosols and volatile organic compounds derived from biomass burning emissions. The successful candidate will also extend GEOS-Chem with a new biomass-burning emissions inventory with support
from ECCC.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
