Ph.D student position in Environmental Atmospheric Chemistry at Baylor University
The Air Quality and Climate group at Baylor University is welcoming applications for a PhD assistantship. The prospective candidate will work with Dr. Sheesley in the Environmental Science Department and TIE^3S program at Baylor University using state-of-the-art environmental chemistry field and laboratory instrumentation. The focus of the PhD will be on investigating the evolution and transformation of carbonaceous aerosols using detailed chemical characterization and the development of novel isotope analysis. Carbonaceous aerosols are of interest due to climate forcing and potential human health impacts. Prospective candidates are expected to have a working background in chemistry or geosciences and to have completed a Bachelor of Science or Masters degree. Prior research experience preferred. Anticipated start date between June and August 2010. Applicants will be applying to The Ecological Earth Environmental Sciences Program (TIEEES) http://www.baylor.edu/tieees/. The successful candidate will receive a competitive stipend with health insurance and full tuition waiver.
