A NERC funded PhD position on the *"Development of ultra-high resolution
mass spectrometry to study atmospheric aerosol pollution*" is now available
at the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories. Department of Chemistry,
University of York for an* October 2015* start.
This project will develop a state of the art method to characterize the
chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol and study the way it changes
over time as it is transported downwind from its source. The student will
design chromatographic methods for the new ultra-high resolution mass
spectrometer (Orbitrap-MS) available in the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry
Laboratories at the University of York. The aim of the project is to
investigate the sources of organic compounds in samples from a range of
locations including the UK, China and India and to develop strategies to
quantify aerosol compounds that are not commercially available, allowing
the importance of man made versus natural emissions to be investigated.
The project will provide excellent multidisciplinary training in analytical
and atmospheric science, and cross-cutting skills in instrumentation and
complex data handling. The student will have the opportunity to take part
in a range of NERC funded smog chamber and field experiments and to present
their research at international conferences.
Closing date for applications is the *31st August 2015*
Interviews will be held on the *14th September 2015*

For further information and informal discussion, please contact Dr Jacqui
Hamilton (jacqui.hamilton@york.ac.uk).
*Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories*The new Wolfson Atmospheric
Chemistry Laboratories (WACL) were established in 2013 and comprise a state
of the art 800 m2 dedicated research building, the first of its kind in the
UK. Supported by a large award from the Wolfson Foundation and a private
donor, the Laboratories enable experimental and theoretical studies
relating to the science of local and global air pollution, stratospheric
ozone depletion and climate change. The Laboratories offer access to state
of the art facilities for atmospheric science, including analysis labs,
workshops, prototyping facilities, high performance computation and data
analysis. WACL provides an environment with exceptional scientific and
technical support for PhDs including full-time experimental officers,
instrument design, data and fieldwork specialists. The Laboratories are
operated as collaborative venture between the University of York and the
National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), co-locating around 40
researchers from seven academic groups and from NCAS. The Laboratories are
a vibrant home to independent research fellows, postdoctoral researchers,
PhD students and final year undergraduate research projects

A Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Tropical Meteorology / Climate Dynamics
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist position in tropical meteorology / climate dynamics, with a particular focus on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), at the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering (JIFRESSE), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The successful candidate will join a research team from UCLA, NOAA/Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, University of Hawaii, and Colorado State University on a Climate Process Team project to speed development of global coupled GCMs and reduce uncertainties in climate models in representing the MJO, by utilizing reanalyses, satellite/in-situ observations, and GCM simulations.
Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. in atmospheric or ocean sciences, or a closely related field. The successful candidate should be highly self-motivated, and has a strong background in tropical climate dynamics, physics of tropical convection, climate modeling, and particularly on sciences of the MJO. He/she is also expected to have extensive experience in processing large observational and model datasets. Appointment is awarded initially for a one-year period, and renewable in one-year increments for a maximum of two additional years. Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
Interested applicants should send a statement of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Xianan Jiang (xianan@ucla.edu<mailto:xianan@ucla.edu>).
UCLA is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
