The selected candidate will join the BNL’s Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing team primarily as part of the Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory team. The Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory is a multi-institutional project supported by the Department of Energy’s Biological Environmental Research program. The project aims to integrate a diverse suite of high-resolution observations (atmospheric, land surface, and infrastructure), diagnostic/predictive models, and civic engagement to provide new knowledge and deliver next-generation predictive tools. These tools are meant to promote equitable policy interventions targeting extreme climate events, carbon dioxide emissions, and local air pollution within and across the Arizona urban corridor.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Participate in the development of predictive simulations of the urban environment


• Design field deployment strategies to evaluate and inform next-generation predictive urban climate models (e.g., using OSSEs (Observing System Simulation Experiments) or ablation studies, through extensive literature review of past field campaigns, through interactions with project stakeholders)


• Participate in summer field work


• Conduct research into the urban boundary layer using “big data” (e.g., crowd sourced data or from mobile and distributed instrument networks)


• Write and publish results in peer-reviewed journals, in coordination with team leadership


• Report on results at regular group meetings and during scheduled seminars and colloquia


• Participate in conferences and workshops, regular group meetings, and assist with notetaking
