Two postdoctoral fellow positions available in the Prather group to study the impact of aerosols on climate. Three upcoming projects in California this coming year will investigate and characterize atmospheric aerosols and their impact on clouds and regional climate. One study will focus on determining how soot or black carbon is impacting our climate. A person with a strong radiative forcing or optics background would be ideally suited to this project. Two other projects will focus on atmospheric and precipitation studies. These three major studies will be conducting in 2010 and involve ground (mobile lab), ship, and aircraft measurements of aerosols, focusing on understanding the major sources contributing to aerosols in California. Anyone interested, please send your CV to Prof. Prather at kprather@ucsd.edu . Qualifications include a PhD with a strong background in atmospheric, physical, or analytical chemistry. We are looking for excited and hard working postdocs to add to our group to help in solving the major environmental issues facing us.
