Partners Institute (DPI</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Helvetica; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">) at the University of Illinois System seeks a postdoctoral researcher focused on improving the understanding of urban
land-atmosphere interactions and their implications for urban sustainability and climate. The position will be located in Chicago. The postdoc will research on improving urban hydrometeorology and/or air quality over global cities in a changing climate. This
research will involve multi-scale high-resolution meteorology and air quality simulations using state-of-the-art models such as Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) and the Unified Forecast System (UFS). The candidate will
have an opportunity to contribute to multiple projects addressing urban climate issues from a diverse lens. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(23, 78, 134);"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
