Responsibilities
Interpret 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
Use 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)
Benefits
Generous and unique benefits that help to ensure that MIT employees are healthy, supported, and enjoy a fulfilling work/life balance
