| Description of Work Unit | The Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University is a large academic and research department in the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering. We currently have nineteen faculty members, eighty graduate students, over seventy full-time researchers and postdoctoral fellows, and an outstanding and dedicated support staff, that comprise one of the most research-active units at the university. The department conducts more than $14M in externally sponsored research each year and is nationally ranked near the top of its field. Within the Kreidenweis/Perkins/Creamean research team, research activities focus on the nature and behavior of particulate matter in the atmosphere and its effects on atmospheric chemistry, clouds and climate. Our group conducts laboratory and atmospheric (ground-based and aircraft) measurements to characterize the physical and chemical properties of aerosols as regards their interactions with warm and cold clouds. We are also involved in modeling of processes to gain insights into long range transport and aerosol-cloud interactions. One area of focus is on understanding the sources of cloud-active particles, particularly those of biological nature and those intentionally released during cloud-seeding operations. |
| Position Summary | We seek to recruit a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on processing samples and data from a recently concluded field campaign in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. This multi-institution field campaign was aimed at understanding complex land-atmosphere interactions in this region and their subsequent impacts on precipitation. As a part of this project, we seek to quantify annual cycles, vertical distributions, and source types of cloud-relevant aerosol populations. These will subsequently be used to analyze spatial variability of cloud-relevant aerosols and build parameterizations to be ingested into modelling experiments. This position will reside in the Department of Atmospheric Science. The successful candidate will conduct offline characterization of ice nucleating particles and will integrate aerosol, ice nuclei, cloud condensation nuclei, and meteorological data in the broader context of the objectives of this study and in coordination with the project teams and CSU PI. The Postdoctoral Fellow will report to Dr. Russell Perkins, lead project PI, and Professor Sonia Kreidenweis. |
