Post-doctoral opportunity in carbon cycle measurements
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider, or pass on if you know of good candidates, the following announcement. Thank you very much,
Britt Stephens and Ralph Keeling
Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric Measurements
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography is seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral scholar position to participate in research involving shipboard, airborne, and ground-based measurements of atmospheric composition related to the global carbon cycle. Expected activities include participation in a global-scale airborne survey of a suite of tracers including CO2, O2/N2 ratio, Ar/N2 ratio and isotopes of CO2. The survey will extend nearly from pole to pole, from the surface to the tropopause, and at several seasons. The successful applicant will work closely with scientists and engineers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and National Center for Atmospheric Research on this project. The opportunity may additionally exist to participate in research to measure the CO2, O2, N2, Ar abundances and isotopic composition in surface seawater, using a recently developed shipboard mass spectrometer system. Overall duties are expected to include instrument development, field tests and deployments, data processing and analysis, modeling, and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals. Candidates are sought with solid experimental background and sufficient knowledge of atmospheric and oceanic sciences to interpret the measurements in the context of global-scale processes and models. A Ph.D. degree in a relevant scientific discipline is required. Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to Ralph Keeling (rkeeling@ucsd.edu).
