DESCRIPTION:

The Department of Physics at the University of Toronto invites applications for a Research Associate (Limited Term) for a 3-year appointment. The anticipated start date is August 1, 2023 (flexible).

We are hiring a Research Associate to work with us on a new and exciting 3-year NSERC Alliance Missions grant. The project is called the Toronto Atmospheric Monitoring of Emissions (TAME): Evaluating progress and co-benefits while avoiding pitfalls on the way to net-zero. The goals of this project are to quantify urban greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions and monitor their reductions over time, while identifying the policies that have made the most significant impacts. The TAME project will equip the Greater Toronto Area with atmospheric observatories to quantify emissions, validate and refine inventories, and provide timely information to governments to implement and verify the effects of emissions policies. This will be accomplished by measuring atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) at five main “supersites” together with other tracers that serve as proxies for the sources of those emissions or emissions reductions. These tracers will include fluorinated compounds used in air source heat pumps that are themselves potent greenhouse gases, products of combustion and criteria air pollutants carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and urban vegetation sequestration information from greenness indices and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence measurements.

The Research Associate (RA) will collaborate with graduate students, faculty, and government scientists to manage the operation of the five “supersites” within the city that each have a low-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (EM27/SUNs). They will also be responsible for deploying and maintaining low-cost sensors to measure and monitor air quality gases, and deploy and maintain higher accuracy in situ spectrometers throughout the city. The RA will also be responsible for collecting and archiving the data through an online publicly available data archive (e.g., Borealis: https://borealisdata.ca/) and creating a display website to visualize our data and disseminate our results to the public in a more accessible way.

Applicants should apply online at the link below and include a covering letter, curriculum vitae and three reference names with their contact addresses and phone numbers. Any questions regarding this position should be directed to Debra Wunch at dwunch@atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca .

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Education - The candidate must have completed a PhD in Atmospheric Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science or Engineering, or be scheduled to complete their PhD before the start of the position.

Experience - Demonstrated hands-on experience of at least 2 years of experience working in the field with atmospheric monitoring equipment (e.g., EM27/SUN, Picarro, LGR, LiCOR) and working with and interpreting large atmospheric datasets. Web design experience is desirable.

Skill - Strong communication and collaborative skills are required. Demonstrated quantitative and computational skills; proficiency with Python, R, or similar data analysis software is required; competency with FORTRAN or other lower-level language is desirable. A driver’s license is necessary for some maintenance visits.
