Senior LevelMassachusetts Institute of Technology is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to join an international team focused on atmospheric science. The role involves interpreting observations of greenhouse gases and applying advanced models to analyze emissions and transport mechanisms.
EducationHigher EducationUniversities
Responsibilities
Interpretation of AGAGE observations of greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases using models, measurements and inverse methods
Determine emissions, transport rates and mechanisms, loss rates and mechanisms, and ozone depletion and radiative forcing by these gases at sub-national to global levels
Apply state-of-the-art 3-dimensional atmospheric chemistry and circulation models, together with advanced statistical techniques (optimal Bayesian, Markov Chain-Monte Carlo, etc.) to solve the forward and inverse problems involved
Qualification
Required
Ph.D. in atmospheric physics and chemistry
Significant experience in three-dimensional atmospheric chemical transport modeling
Preferred
Experience using these models together with observations to optimally estimate trace gas sources and sinks (i.e., inverse modeling)
