Postdoctoral Researcher

Agricultural Air Quality Modeling


The Air Quality Forecasting (AQF) Lab within Department of Marine, Earth, Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University (NCSU) is accepting applications for a post-doctoral research position.  The position will involve the development and application of an advanced 3-D Agricultural Air Quality (AAQ) model system to study the fate and transport of reduced nitrogen and sulfur compounds emitted from agricultural sources.  The 3-D AAQ model will provide an accurate representation in transport, chemistry, aerosol, dry/wet deposition of those compounds and will be applied at high grid resolutions over continental U.S. for both current and future year emission/climate scenarios. 

The successful candidate will have a recent PhD degree in atmospheric sciences or engineering with a strong background on atmospheric chemistry, aerosol microphysics, dry/wet deposition, atmospheric dispersion, and plume-in-grid treatment, and also must be very familiar with FORTRAN 90 and UNIX/Linux systems. Experience in 3-D air quality/atmospheric chemistry modeling using air quality models (e.g., WRF/Chem, CMAQ, and CAMx), as well as parallel computing is required.  Excellent oral and written communication skills are essential.

The initial appointment will be for 1 year period, with a possibility for extension of 2 years depending on satisfactory performance and the availability of funding.  Salary is commensurate with qualification and experience.  Qualified candidates should submit application materials via NCSU's online job site: http://www7.acs.ncsu.edu/hr/employment/jobapfaq.asp
Refer to position number: EPV-07-70-0718. Required materials include cover letter containing contact address and visa status (if any), complete curriculum vitae, copies of transcripts, statement of research interests, and names and contact information for three references and sample publications.  Review of the applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.  More information on the AQF lab at NCSU can be found at:

NC State University is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status, or disability. In addition, NC State University welcomes all persons without regard to sexual orientation.  Applications from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are encouraged.  Individuals with disabilities desiring accommodations in the application process should contact Dr. Yang Zhang, MEAS, NCSU, Campus box 8208, Raleigh, NC 27695-8208; email: yang_zhang@ncsu.edu.

 

Postdoctoral Researcher

Air Quality/Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling


The Air Quality Forecasting (AQF) Lab within Department of Marine, Earth, Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University (NCSU) is accepting applications for a post-doctoral research position.  The position will involve the development and application of an advanced 3-D AQF system that is based on Weather Research and Forecast Model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem).  The incumbent will also have opportunities to work with atmospheric scientists at NOAA/EPA to develop, test, and optimize such a system for real-time AQF and impact of global changes on air quality.

The successful candidate will have a recent PhD degree in atmospheric sciences or engineering with a strong background on atmospheric chemistry, cloud/aerosol microphysics, and meteorology, and also must be very familiar with FORTRAN 90 and UNIX/Linux systems. Experience in 3-D air quality/atmospheric chemistry modeling using air quality models such as WRF/Chem and CMAQ as well as parallel computing is required.  Excellent oral and written communication skills are essential.

Postdoctoral Researcher

Organic Aerosol-Climate Modeling


Department of Marine, Earth, Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University (NCSU) is accepting applications for a post-doctoral research position.  The position will involve development, application and evaluation of two advanced 3-D atmospheric chemistry-aerosol-cloud models based on NCAR CAM4 with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Model for Integrated Research of Atmospheric Global Exchanges (MIRAGE) and Weather Research and Forecast Model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem). The successful candidate will have a recent PhD degree in atmospheric sciences or a closely related field with a strong background in atmospheric chemistry, aerosol/cloud microphysics and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. Candidate must also be familiar with FORTRAN 90 and UNIX/Linux systems. Experience in 3-D atmospheric chemistry-climate modeling using regional/global models such as MIRAGE, CAM3, and WRF/Chem as well as parallel computing is required. Excellent oral and written communication skills are essential. The initial appointment will be for 1 year period, with a possibility for extension of 2 more years depending on satisfactory performance and the availability of funding.  Salary is commensurate with qualification and experience.  Qualified candidates should submit application materials via NCSU's online job site:
