Two post-doctoral positions (PDF) are available from May 1, 2007 in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo. These positions are
associated with the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite mission
(see http://www.ace.uwaterloo.ca) and are funded by the Canadian Space
Agency for at least one year. The main instrument on the ACE satellite is a
high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer operating in the 750-4400
cm-1 spectral region. ACE provides height profiles of the concentrations of
a large number of atmospheric trace gases as well as the meteorological
variables of temperature and pressure. One PDF will work on studies of
pyroconvection and its effects on stratospheric ozone and temperature using
ACE results and detailed validation of ACE-FTS temperature retrievals using
measurements from ground-based, airborne and satellite instruments. This
PDF will be supervised jointly by faculty at the University of Waterloo
(Prof. Kaley Walker) and the University of Western Ontario (Prof. Robert
Sica). The other PDF will work on developing a method for retrieval of
stratospheric winds from ACE-FTS spectra. Both positions are based in
Waterloo. Salary is commensurate with experience. Applicants should send a
cv plus the names of three references to Kaley Walker at:
[log in to unmask] and indicate in their cover letter which
project(s) they are interested in working on.
