Science & Strategy</i>, to join an international team of experimentalists and theoreticians in the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) and a large atmospheric chemistry group at MIT. The work will focus on interpretation of AGAGE observations
of greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases using models, measurements, and inverse methods. The general goals are to determine emissions, transport rates and mechanisms, loss rates and mechanisms, ozone depletion, and radiative forcing by these gases at sub-national
to global levels. The work will apply state-of-the-art three-dimensional atmospheric chemistry and circulation models, together with advanced statistical techniques (optimal Bayesian, Markov Chain-MonteCarlo, etc.) to solve the forward and inverse problems
involved. Additional information about AGAGE, CS3, and MIT Atmospheric Chemistry, is available at
