<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Join an exciting Northern Arizona University research team (</span><a href="https://gurneylab.nau.edu/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: purple;">https://gurneylab.nau.edu/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">)
in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona doing cutting-edge research on quantifying GHG and local air pollution emissions at multiple scales from the building to the globe. This research uses existing systems (Vulcan - </span><a href="https://vulcan.rc.nau.edu/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: purple;">https://vulcan.rc.nau.edu/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> and

years. This postdoctoral position will focus on very high-resolution GHG emissions quantification in urban areas in the US using “bottom-up” techniques. We are currently working in the urban areas of Baltimore, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Indianapolis
but will be adding multiple new urban domains. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Candidates must have received a PhD in a field related to the positions (spanning Informatics, Civil Engineering, Urban Science, Ecological/Environmental Sciences, Atmospheric Science, Data Science, Geography)
from an accredited college or university. The applicant will be expected to publish peer-reviewed journal articles and work in a team environment, effectively communicating with the research team. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Job duties include data collection on emitting assets, developing/improving model systems for flux estimation, and coding within the existing Vulcan/Hestia software to deploy the flux estimation. Postdoctoral
scientist will be responsible for an asset-level and gridded inventory output (in conjunction with the existing Vulcan/Hestia systems output) and will also supervise a graduate student in assisting in all aspects of the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
