The Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) seeks a postdoctoral associate to join an international team of experimentalists and theoreticians in the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) and a large atmospheric chemistry group at MIT. The work will focus on interpretation of AGAGE observations of greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases using models, measurements and inverse methods.

Additional information about AGAGE, CGCS, MIT Atmospheric Chemistry, and Professor Prinn is available at http://agage.mit.edu, http://cgcs.mit.edu, http://mit.edu/rprinn, and http://atmoschem.mit.edu

Requirements:

• Ph.D. in some area of atmospheric physics and chemistry.
• Significant experience in three-dimensional atmospheric chemical transport modeling.
• Experience using these models together with observations to optimally estimate trace gas sources and sinks (i.e., inverse modeling) is desirable.

In addition to applying to job number 18281 online at MIT Careers (http://careers.mit.edu/), qualified scientists are also asked to send electronically a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation to rprinn@mit.edu.

Applications will be considered upon receipt and until position is filled. This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of renewal.
