The Environmental Analysis Facility (EAF) of DRI’s Division of Atmospheric Sciences has an opening for a scientist in the area of ambient and source characterization. We are seeking a person with the interdisciplinary interest needed to contribute to the further development and use of continuous gas and particle instruments (including PM mass, mass surrogates, particle size distribution, and black carbon) to conduct field studies and laboratory characterization of combustion aerosols. A strong background in physics (especially aerosol physics), mechanical/thermal engineering, atmospheric science, and instrument design is required. This position will be located in Reno, Nevada. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and testing of real-time monitoring techniques and instruments and their use in field studies; will be expected to lead or substantially participate in writing proposals for continued sponsorship, to develop their own research programs over time, and meet the requirements for advancement through DRI’s professorial ranks.

With more than 500 employees and two main campuses in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, DRI generates nearly $55 million in total annual revenue.
