UCAR Postdoctoral Fellowship at the NOAA/EPA National Exposure Research Laboratory Research Triangle Park, North Carolina INVITATION: On behalf of the National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development, the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs seeks a recent PhD to pursue investigations of modeling particulate matter in the atmosphere. The incumbent will work with the team of experienced scientists (from the Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division of the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory who are on assignment to the NERL) that recently developed the Models- 3/Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system. This program will provide an exciting opportunity for scientific evaluation and exploration of current state-of-science particle modeling within the overall framework of Models-3/CMAQ. GENERAL: Models-3 is a powerful new community- based open modeling framework for the CMAQ system that provides a comprehensive state-of-science multi-pollutant, multi-embedded scale heterogeneous- photochemistry and deposition modeling capability. It is designed for scientific research and inquiry, and equally important, it is a state-of-science based modeling tool for use in implementation requirements of a policy and/or regulatory nature to address current and emerging air quality issues. With its one-atmosphere paradigm, the CMAQ system models all the important atmospheric transport processes and chemical pathways affecting sources of air pollution and thus, provides a holistic and powerful means to develop control strategies in the context of assessing their impacts on photochemical oxidants, particulate matter (PM) and toxic issues. In the case of PM, the CMAQ system predicts ambient gridded values of particle number, size distribution, composition, and total mass for different size ranges as well as gridded deposition of primary and secondary particulate values, and associated visibility for multi day episodes on regional to urban scales. For further details see http://www.epa.gov/asmdnerl/models3.html. The incumbent will conduct intensive scientific model evaluation studies with focus on fine particulate composition, number and mass based upon observational data sets from major and specialized field measurements campaigns that are now or will soon be coming available for model evaluation. Part of the responsibilities will be to understand the measurements and their biases and address inconsistencies between model predictions and measurements. Results from this program of study have important implications of a strategic nature; the anticipated enhancement of the science basis will serve to reduce science uncertainty and thus increase the confidence of the science community and the public in the use of Models-3/CMAQ for implementation of air quality objectives and other related air quality issues. QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants should have a PhD in atmospheric sciences, chemistry and/or meteorology or related disciplines with knowledge and interest towards the pursuit of in-depth model evaluation studies of PM. The individual must have: (1) modeling (air quality modeling with Eulerian grid framework is desirable), programming experience (Fortran), and working familiarity with PC and UNIX- based workstations, (2) knowledge and experience with diagnostic analyses and statistical and graphical analysis techniques applied to observational data, (3) capability in oral and written communications, and (4) ability to work both independently and as a contributing team member. To apply, send the following materials to UCAR/VSP: -- A cover letter stating the specific name of this program. -- Curriculum Vitae with a list of publications, technical reports and professional presentations. -- Names and contact information of four professional references (one must be from a thesis advisor). It is the applicants responsibility to request that the reference letters be sent to UCAR/VSP by the application deadline. -- Masters or PhD thesis abstract, including title of thesis. -- One to two page statement of experience and interests as related to goals of program. Application deadline is: 15 December 2000. The exact start date is negotiable. Fellows become a UCAR term employee and receive a fixed annual stipend. Benefits include health and dental insurance, sick and annual leave, paid holidays, mandatory participation in a retirement fund (TIAA/CREF), and life insurance. A relocation allowance is provided as well as an allowance for scientific travel and other support costs. The position will be located at EPA's NERL in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The program offers an appointment up to three years, reviewed annually and available starting in early 2001. Send application materials to: UCAR/Visiting Scientist Programs P.O.
