Postdoctoral scholar position: Hygroscopicity and CCN potential of organic functional groups in ambient aerosol, University of California, Davis
The Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) at the University of California, Davis is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to perform laboratory research to investigate the hygroscopicity and CCN potential of organic functional groups in aerosol. The post-doctoral fellow will be mentored by Drs. Ann M. Dillner and Anthony Wexler.
The Program Assessment Section has an opening for a motivated Air Pollution Specialist (APS) to join a friendly and dynamic team of scientists and engineers working to design and implement programs to help achieve California’s ambitious air quality, climate, and environmental justice goals. The Program Assessment Section develops air pollution mitigation strategies for the oil and gas and related sectors.
The Air Quality team at the WRI (World Resources Institute) Ross Center for Sustainable Cities is hiring for a Project Manager to manage flagship USAID-funded project, the Clean Air Catalyst.
Postdoctoral Researcher, New Instrument for Detecting Wine Grape TaintLocation: University of California, Davis
Wildfires have devastated large swaths of the western states resulting in a range of catastrophic consequences. The wine grape growers and vintners in Washington, Oregon and California have lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to grapes that become unsuitable for wine due to damage from wildfire smoke.
PROJECT POLICY ANL SUPV 2 (Program Manager)
Department Description
The UC Davis Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) is a growing interdisciplinary Organized Research Unit (ORU). Its mission is to facilitate research on the scientific, engineering, health, social, and economic aspects of gaseous and particulate atmospheric pollutants.
A postdoctoral position is available in the area of multivariate analysis of FT-IR spectra of atmospheric particulate matter (PM). The FT-IR Laboratory in the Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) at UC Davis uses mid-infrared spectra and multivariate calibration models to predict the composition of filter-based PM samples in U.S.
One postdoctoral research position is open in the Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This Postdoctoral scholar will be working primarily in a project aiming at determination of the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other priority pollutant gases on pre and post-installation of anaerobic digester for the following types of waste treatments: green waste/food waste mixture; wastewater sludge, and dairy waste. The competent candidate will work with a research team led by Prof. Frank Mitloehner and Dr.

Description: Under supervision of the Data & Reporting Manager, process, validate, and quality control particulate matter measurement data. Responsibilities include, (1) handling and validation of large datasets using custom software, relational database, and programming tools, (2) communication with internal and external laboratories, and (3) development and generation of reports to summarize data.
Description: Under supervision of the Laboratory Group Manager, perform routine operations in the Quartz Carbon Laboratory including all aspects of receiving, inventorying, archiving and preparing quartz filters for analysis. Continuously load and unload samples for five carbon analyzers, conduct measurements, process data to verify measurements, and maintain instrument logbooks and records. Communicate with student assistants and other staff working in the Air Quality Research Center.
Description: an Assistant Project Scientist position to develop calibration standards as well as develop laboratory quality assurance/control procedures, plus evaluate measurement error, uncertainties, and long-term trends of ambient particulate matter through two national monitoring networks (IMPROVE, CSN).
Description: The toxicity of tobacco smoke depends on the local dose of the smoke in the lung, yet mapping of the regional and local deposition are not available. Mathematical modeling techniques such as the Multi-Path Particle Dosimetry (MPPD) model can predicted the distribution of deposition, but these predictions have not been validated due to lack of experimental data.
