Join an exciting Northern Arizona University research team (https://gurneylab.nau.edu/) in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona doing cutting-edge research on quantifying GHG and local air pollution emissions at multiple scales from the building to the globe. This research uses existing systems (Vulcan - https://vulcan.rc.nau.edu/ and Hestia – https://hestia.rc.nau.edu) developed in the Gurney Lab over the past 20 years.
This postdoctoral position will focus on very high-resolution GHG, AQ, and anthropogenic heat emissions quantification in urban areas of the US associated with a large DOE urban effort (Urban Integrated Field Laboratories). The work includes both technical challenges and the need for engagement in target cities with data providers, stakeholders, and city officials. We are currently working in the urban areas of Baltimore, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Indianapolis but will be adding multiple new urban domains (e.g., Chicago, Houston).
Job duties include data collection on emitting assets, developing/improving model systems for flux estimation, and coding within the existing Vulcan/Hestia software to deploy the flux estimation. Postdoctoral scientist will be responsible for an asset-level and gridded inventory output (in conjunction with the existing Vulcan/Hestia systems output) and will also supervise a graduate student in assisting in all aspects of the project. The applicant will be expected to publish peer-reviewed journal articles and work in a team environment, effectively communicating with the research team.

The report includes Clery reportable crime statistics for the three most recent completed calendar years and discloses procedures, practices and programs NAU uses to keep students and employees safe including how to report crimes or other emergencies occurring on campus. In addition, the Fire Safety Report is combined with the Annual Security Report for the NAU Flagstaff Mountain Campus as this campus has on-campus student housing. This report discloses fire safety policies and procedures related to on-campus student housing and statistics for fires that occurred in those facilities. If you would like a free paper copy of the report, please contact the NAUPD Records Department at (928) 523-8884 or by visiting the department at 525 E. Pine Knoll Drive in Flagstaff.
