Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Department/Area Position Description The Keutsch Group is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Atmospheric Science. The successful candidate will
conduct laboratory experiments investigating heterogeneous halogen and nitrogen chemistry on organic and biomass-burning aerosols under stratospheric conditions. The research will focus on determining reactive uptake rates and other parameters needed to characterize these heterogeneous processes. Experimental results will be integrated into models of stratospheric chemistry to quantify their effects on stratospheric
composition, with particular emphasis on ozone. The postdoctoral fellow will also participate in planned stratospheric airborne field campaigns, including the collection of aerosol samples for subsequent offline microanalysis. The position will provide opportunities to work across laboratory, field, and modeling components of a larger collaborative research program. The postdoctoral fellow will be part of a
multidisciplinary team at Harvard and will collaborate with research groups outside Harvard involved in the broader project. The successful candidate will also contribute to the mentoring of graduate and/or undergraduate students participating in the research. Basic Qualifications Doctorate in atmospheric science, atmospheric chemistry, or a closely related field by the time the appointment begins. Additional
Qualifications A strong record of experimental research is preferred. Experience with experimental methods is desirable as is experience with airborne field campaigns and/or measurements conducted in aircraft-based research environments. Knowledge of stratospheric chemistry, including processes affecting stratospheric ozone, is preferred. Experience working collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary research team
is desirable. Special Instructions Applicants should submit the following materials: Curriculum vitae Names and email addresses of two references Reference requests will be sent directly to the referees through the Harvard application system after the application is submitted.
