Available Positions

• Postdoctoral Researcher, Fire Process-Atmospheric Chemical Modeling with Desert Research Institute   [APPLY]

  
  The Desert Research Institute's (DRI's) Division of Atmospheric Sciences is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher interested in modeling of fire behavior and wildfire plume chemistry. We seek an individual with a strong research background in fire process and/or atmospheric chemical modeling and a passion for advancing fire science. This individual will be involved in existing and upcoming research towards understanding fire propagation and severity, fire-atmosphere interaction, fire emissions into the atmosphere, wildfire plume evolution, and pre- to post-fire changes of eco-hydrologic conditions with applications in fire and land management. The successful candidate will focus on numerical modeling, including assimilation of data from laboratory and field experiments, including from UAS payloads and Doppler lidar. This individual will design and conduct modeling simulations to explore various aspects of fire behavior and/or the complex evolution of wildfire plumes focusing on the gas-particle partitioning of organic compounds and toxicity changes during aging of the plume. While this position will be housed within DRI's Division of Atmospheric Sciences (DAS), the successful candidate will interact and collaborate with researchers across all three of DRI's science divisions (including Hydrologic Sciences, Atmospheric Sciences, and Earth and Ecosystem Sciences), as well as colleagues within the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). This position is located at DRI's Northern Nevada Science Center in Reno, NV, but candidates preferring remote locations inside the United States may be considered.
