Special Information
This position is subject to the availability of funding. The
incumbent is not eligible for Service Professional non-renewal
notice, or Classified Staff layoff or recall status.
This position is an on-site position which requires the incumbent to
complete their work primarily at an NAU site, campus, or facility
with or without accommodation. Opportunities for remote work are
rare.
Job Description
This Postdoctoral position will perform research on quantification and
analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG), local air pollution (AQ), and
anthropogenic heat emissions at the sub-urban spatial scale (buildings,
factories, road segments) in specific urban areas of the US associated
with a large DOE urban effort (Urban Integrated Field Laboratories).
This is an ongoing effort to apply the \"Hestia\" model
([https://hestia.rc.nau.edu](https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=6087301&targetURL=https://hestia.rc.nau.edu))
to multiple urban domains in the US both as a contribution to a complete
urban-scale GHG information system development and to build urban-scale
policy analytics for urban climate policy. It is closely related to the
\"Vulcan\" estimation system
([https://vulcan.rc.nau.edu/](https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=6087301&targetURL=https://vulcan.rc.nau.edu/)),
which estimates GHG/AQ emissions for the entire US landscape at somewhat
coarser spatial resolution.
Research & Publication - 50%
Incorporation of existing codified GHG AQ, and heat estimation
methods.
Innovation towards new techniques. Analysis of urban GHG/AQ emissions in space and time. Comparison studies to alternative or independent methods. Interface with atmospheric inverse modelers. Review literature and identify appropriate approaches and develop
peer-reviewed publications reflecting research outcomes
Software Development - 25%
Existing codebase improvements, additions, expansion, and operation.
Outreach and Communication - 10%
Liaison with three IFL cities as part of the DOE IFL effort. Present project results to internal and external parties at regular
meetings, seminars, and conferences.
Writing of technical publication and reports including peer-reviewed
publications.
Co-PI Responsibilities - 10%
Postdoc is anticipated to contribute to proposals, ideally as a
co-PI.
Other - 5%
Supervision of graduate student research. Other duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
Ph.D. in a field related to position (e.g. Informatics, Geography,
Civil Engineering, Urban Planning, Data Science) from an accredited
college or university.
Preferred Qualifications
Numerical analysis experience. Minimum of 3 years experience in use of GIS. Minimum 2 years experience in application of geospatial statistical
analysis.
Minimum of 2 years R/python programming experience. Experience working in linux environment with a high-performance
computer.
Experience working in a team environment with shared workflow (code,
data, analysis).
Experience in he application of machine learning. Experience in quantification of GHG emissions in urban context.
Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities
Use of GIS in context of urban data such as building layers, road
layers, and other infrastructural or socio-demographic data.
Development, authorship, and understanding of medium-size R scripts. Maintenance of organized computational workflow and data environment
with documentation.
Strong motivation towards urban GHG/AQ quantification and science,
policy application.
Strong verbal and written communication skills. Ability to work in team environment with shared workflow.
Background Information
Northern Arizona University requires satisfactory results for the
following: a criminal background investigation, an employment history
verification and a degree verification (in some cases) prior to
