Postdoctoral Researcher - Climate and Emerging Air Pollutants University of California, Los Angeles Requisition Number: JPF04711 Recruitment Period Open June 27th, 2019 through Friday, Jul 12, 2019 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) If you apply to this recruitment by July 12th, 2019, you will have until August 31st, 2019 to complete your application. Description The Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Department of the Fielding School of Public Health (FSPH) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study the impacts of climate and emerging pollutant source (e.g., electronic cigarette) on indoor and outdoor air quality and human health. The research activities will include developing models to better understand the impacts of decarbonization policies on air quality at the community scales, applying low-cost air sensors to monitor air quality in environmental justice communities, and conducting laboratory experiments to identify the link between electronic cigarette aerosol physicochemical properties and the biological outcomes. Professor Yifang Zhu at EHS Department of FSPH is looking for a highly qualified Postdoctoral Researcher with keen interest of multidisciplinary research that involves atmospheric monitoring and modeling, exposure and health effect assessment. The candidate will have the opportunity to learn advanced techniques including advanced atmospheric transport models, state-of-the-art aerosol characterization methods, and high throughput screening. The successful candidate needs possession of hands-on experience in data collection and analysis, model development, aerosol sample collection, and particle physicochemical characterization. Postdoctoral researcher will assist in planning of experiments, methods development, data reduction, and manuscript preparation as part of the research. This position is available immediately and initial appointment will be 1 year, contingent upon performance, the appointment could be extended. The salary (including full university benefits) will commensurate with experience and set by the University of California pay scale. In addition to research activities, the postdoc will be expected to mentor undergraduate and graduate students and participate in grant writing activities. Qualifications: candidate must have completed their PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Environmental Health, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biology or other related field. Additional Qualifications: the ideal candidate needs to have hands-on experience in atmospheric modeling, aerosol sample collection, and particle physicochemical characterization.
