The Desert Research Institute (DRI), Reno, Nevada, is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated scientist in the area of Aerosol Science at the level of Assistant Research Professor. The appointment is expected to begin in early 2011 and the successful candidate will participate in or lead individual research tasks, develop new directions in aerosol research, and supervise post-doctoral fellows and graduate students within ongoing and planned experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies. The individual selected is expected to interact with a diverse group of scientists, including aerosol scientists, physicists (especially spectroscopy and optics), chemists (analytical, inorganic, and organic), geologists, and combustion researchers. The initial focus of this position will be work on recent grants from NSF, NASA, and DoD in the areas of combustion and mineral dust aerosol optics, morphology, and radiative transfer. It is expected that the candidate will participate in related instrument development, laboratory and field measurements, analysis and modeling of observational data, educational and community outreach, and take a lead in publication writing and reporting. All candidates will be evaluated on past experience, communication skills, proposal and publication record, grant and contract activities, ability to work both collaboratively and independently, supervision experience, and personal area of expertise that complements existing staff. The successful candidate may have an opportunity to teach classes at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) if desired, but this is not a requirement of the position.
