Greenhouse Gas Research Scientist - Environment Canada
A two year research scientist position at Environment Canada is available. Pending funding opportunities and program priorities, the term could be extended beyond two years. Applications must be submitted by December 4, 2009.
The successful candidate will carry out research on the atmospheric chemistry processes, carbon cycle and radiative forcing of greenhouse gases in the Climate Chemistry Measurements and Research Section of the Climate Research Division in Toronto. He/she will be part of a team to improve understanding of the source-sink behaviour of greenhouse gases influencing climate change ultimately advancing carbon and nitrogen cycle parameterizations in climate models of the regional and global climate system. The successful candidate will conduct research on atmospheric chemical and physical processes and their representation in atmospheric models, making use of observations to improve understanding of carbon and nitrogen cycles. Particular emphasis will be improvements to processes and methodologies for quantitative estimates of Canadian sources and sinks on various spatial scales, and understanding of uncertainties in reported emissions.
