Responsibilities: A postdoctoral research position is available at the Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The selected Postdoctoral Scholar will primarily work on a project that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two leading methane emissions control strategies: landfill cover methane oxidation and automated gas collection systems. Additionally, the project will involve collecting site-specific parameters in the field for testing, which will inform simulations in the California Landfill Methane Inventory Model (CALMIM).
In consultation with the Air Quality Research Center (AQRC) Director and Operations & Events Manager, manage AQRC outreach activities, including conferences and other events which enhance the stature and visibility of the Center. Responsible for all facets of program planning, including content design, speaker selection, management, facilitation, sponsor development, budget management, public relations and promotion.

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.
