Postdoctoral Position Announcement
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg, Maryland
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to fill a post-doctoral / guest researcher position to work on greenhouse gas emissions and dispersion modeling, including atmospheric flux inversions. As part of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Climate Science Measurements program, NIST is developing advanced measurement tools and standards to independently verify greenhouse gas emissions data both nationally and internationally. The Indianapolis Flux Project (INFLUX) was initiated as part of this program to demonstrate the use of spatially dense, surface-based observing networks to locate GHG sources with a top-down methodology, and determine their flux at the targeted levels of accuracy.
The successful applicant will conduct research using the mesoscale atmospheric model WRF, lagrangian particle models, tracer-transport and Bayesian statistical methods, and emission inventories to develop novel methodologies for estimating the flux of CH4 to the atmosphere. Strong modeling background and experience with data assimilation, model / data comparison and statistical methods is required. The candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate within an inter-disciplinary team of scientists / engineers at various universities and research laboratories.
Interested applicants should submit a CV, a cover letter describing their research interests, and names of three references to Dr. Kuldeep Prasad (kprasad@nist.gov<mailto:kprasad@nist.gov>) or Dr. Israel Lopez-Coto (inl@nist.gov). We are accepting applications from US Citizens (post-doctoral position) as well as from foreign nationals (guest researcher position). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
