Position Description
Position Description
The department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington is seeking up to two full-time postdoctoral scholars with research interests in atmospheric chemistry modeling. The work will be supervised by Professor Lyatt Jaeglé. The successful candidate(s) will work on one of the following two projects: 1) winter air pollution over the United States, focusing on pollutant emissions, wintertime oxidants, and the seasonal response of PM2.5 and O3 to past and future changes in emissions, 2) atmospheric chemistry in polar regions with emphasis on sources of aerosols from blowing snow, halogen chemistry, and surface ozone depletion events.
Appointments are 100% FTE for 12 months, renewable for a second 12 months subject to approval and availability of funding. A Postdoctoral Scholar is an academic appointment that requires evidence of a conferred Ph.D. by the appointment start date and candidates cannot exceed five years of Postdoctoral experience prior to the end of an appointment. Together with a competitive salary, a small research/travel budget and/or a relocation stipend might be included. The salary range is between $65,508 and $71,000 a year, depending on prior postdoctoral experience (which cannot exceed 3 years prior experience at the time of hire)
Postdoctoral scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement, unless agreed exclusion criteria apply. For more information, please visit the University of Washington Labor Relations website.
