A postdoctoral position on environmental health studies is available now. Atmospheric pollutants are believed to be associated with many adverse health outcomes. ROS, i.e., reactive oxygen species, is considered as the bridge between pollutants and health outcomes because most pollutant exposures will firstly generate ROS in human bodies, then lead to oxidant stress that cause damages to health. This opinion brings to several new researches such measurement of ROS in ambient aerosol, in human bodies, as well as explorations between the ROS concentrations and key pollutants (e.g., secondary aerosols, ozone). The postdoctoral fellow will conduct laboratory observations of aerosol bound ROS to investigate the effects of other particulate pollutants and environment facts on ROS generations. We will also collaborate with atmospheric modelers to evaluate the significance of relations between ROS and major atmospheric toxic compounds. Background in chemistry, physics or engineering is required. Experiences with mass spectrometers and particle instruments are highly desired. Effective communication and instrument trouble shooting skills are essential. The primary duties include summarizing the scientific findings in national and international conferences and publishing in scientific journals. Initial appoint is one year and may be extended up to 3 years, depending on the performance and the funding availability. Please contact Prof. ZHANG YuanXun at +86-10-88256365 or email yxzhang@ucas.ac.cn for more information.

If interested, please send your CV, including a list of publications, and PDF files of 3 most related publications via email. Please also arrange 3 letters of references directly sent to Prof. ZHANG YuanXun via email.

Faculty Position in Atmospheric Science

CRE welcomes applications for faculty and postdoctoral positions in the field of geography, environmental science and engineering, agricultural resources and environment, and ecology.

The Atmospheric Environment and Health Impacts Division of CRE invites applications for a faculty position in atmospheric science at the Assistant Professor rank. The successful candidate will develop an internationally recognized program in atmospheric science focused on ambient measurements related to air quality at local and regional scales. The incumbent is expected to have expertise in ambient measurements of anthropogenic and biogenic aerosols and gases, emission and deposition fluxes, transformations, or transport or related topics. The incumbent would be encouraged to work broadly with current faculty with compatible strengths in environmental science, earth science, climate change, ecology, economics, chemistry, physics and related areas. Participation across the campus with the 19 CAS institutes provides unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations.

The successful candidate will be expected to be fully engaged in the teaching mission of the college, including formal classroom instruction at the graduate levels, and mentoring of MS and PhD students in research and the process of knowledge development. Teaching responsibilities will include graduate courses in the area of specialty within the Division of Atmospheric Environment and Health Impacts and related graduate programs, such as the Graduate Program in Environmental Toxicology and the graduate program in Global Climate and Environmental Change. A PhD in a relevant field and a proven ability to conduct innovative research are required. Evaluations of applications will begin May 1, 2012, but the position will remain open until filled.

Applications, including a vita, statement of research and teaching interests, and letters from three referees should be sent to:
