Job Description: The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with research teams both in the US and in Central Asia, and research activities will specifically include developing analytics for sensor network calibration, surveillance, and interpretation as well as developing policy relevant mitigation strategies with our in-country partners and stakeholders. Efforts will also include using satellite imagery that will be integrated with ground-based measurements to develop highly resolved spatial maps of PM2.5 across the regions of study. The postdoctoral researcher will also be involved in a complementary project studying the impact of indoor air filtration on human health in regions impacted by wildfires. It is expected that activities will be divided between air pollution monitoring related activities (~30%), related data analytics (~40%), and project management and manuscript/report preparation (~30%).
Requirements: A PhD in a field of Science or Engineering with expertise related to air quality. Extensive experience with large-scale data processing and/or computation modeling is necessary. In addition, proven skills in leading or facilitating multidisciplinary research teams is crucial. Exceptional writing and organizational skills are essential, and a track record in peer-reviewed, first-authored publications must be demonstrated.
