Postdoc (PDF) Position in Halogen Modelling 1600 views

Postdoc Research Associate (PDF) in Halogen Modelling at the Department of Chemistry at the University of York – Heslington Campus.

Hours of work: Full-time

Contract status: Fixed term

Fellowship/Salary: £31,076 – £38,183

Deadline: 03/11/2016

Introduction

The selected candidate will undertake research into:

1. Role of halogens (notably Iodine) in controlling the composition of the troposphere.
2. Using the GEOS-Chem chemistry transport model,
3. Developing new parameterizations for the model,
4. Evaluating the model against observations and evaluating policy relevant implications.
5. The post forms part of a wider NERC funded project led under Prof Lucy Carpenter within the WACL group and model developments will be made with this wider project in mind.

Requirements

1. Excellent track record at PhD or post-doc research in atmospheric chemistry modelling with the GEOS-Chem model.
2. You will be able to evaluate the model against field observations and understand the role of halogen chemistry in the troposphere.
3. You will be able to demonstrate an ability to write papers and deliver research seminars.

The post is full-time (although applications for flexible or part-time working will be considered)
