Airborne Trace Gas Measurements
NASA Ames Research Center is looking for a postdoctoral assistant to join our Trace Gas measurement group. We collect in-situ carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and formaldehyde measurements from an airborne platform, and the successful candidate will be responsible for ongoing operation and calibration of one or more instruments. Candidates with interest in tropospheric composition or carbon cycle science and experience in one or more of the following measurement foci are encouraged to apply:
- in-situ measurements of NO2
- laser-based CO2 and CH4 measurements
- airborne optical trace gas measurements
- greenhouse gas flux measurements and analysis
- high-resolution infrared spectroscopy, both hardware and data analysis
Previous laboratory and/or field experience is required. Experience with a variety of data analysis software packages is advantageous. Development of secondary projects which foster collaborations with other researchers at NASA Ames is also encouraged.
Position Requirements:
- PhD in the physical sciences, preferably Chemistry, Physics, or Atmospheric Sciences.
