Some potential topics are (but not limited to):

(A) For postdocs:

• AI and/or modeling of wetland greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts

• Field measurement of Southeast Asia wetlands (emissions, plant species, soil, hydrology, etc)

• Automated Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) design for field measurement of wetlands

• Other topics related to carbon cycle and atmospheric science that you are strongly motivated to do

(B) For PhD candidates:

PhD Position 1: Atmospheric chemistry modelling

• We are looking for highly motivated PhD candidates to study urban, biogenic, or fire emissions and chemistry using atmospheric chemistry modeling.

• Examples of topics:

-              Emissions and chemistry  (e.g., urban, ship tracks, biomass burning, biogenic, fire)

-              Secondary pollutant formation

-              Model-measurement evaluation with satellite, ground networks, and campaign data

• Desired qualifications:

-              Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in atmospheric science, environmental engineering, physics, chemistry, data science, or related.

-              Experience with at least one relevant modeling tool (e.g., WRF, CMAQ, GEOS-Chem, CAMx)

-              Programming proficiency in Python/R/Fortran/Matlab

-              Strong quantitative skills and clear scientific writing and communication in English

PhD Position 2: Greenhouse gas budget modeling

• We are looking for highly motivated PhD candidates to study national and regional greenhouse gas (GHG: CO2, CH4, N2O) budgets using top-down or bottom-up models. 

• Desired qualifications:

-              Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in atmospheric science, environmental engineering, geoscience, data science, or related.

-              Experience with at least one relevant top-down or bottom-up modeling tool (e.g., WRF, GEOS-Chem, LPJ, ORCHIDEE)

-              Programming proficiency in Python/R/Fortran/Matlab

-              Strong quantitative skills and clear scientific writing and communication in English

(C) For research assistants, Bachelor/Masters students, and visiting students:

• Topics in section A above

• Global carbon cycle and greenhouse gases (not limited to wetlands, or CO2/CH4), e.g. forest, wildfire, agriculture, landfill

• Air quality and atmospheric chemistry, such as urban air quality, wildfire chemistry and its long-range transport

• Environmental injustice and human health to air quality
