Responsabilités principales
- Main duties and responsibilities
- The successful candidate will have considerable freedom to shape their research within the broader scope of the laboratory. Potential research directions include:
- Sources and emissions of indoor air pollutants, with particular interest in ultrafine particles and indoor aerosols;
- Concentrations, dynamics, and transformations of indoor pollutants, including physical and chemical processes occurring after emission;
- Human inhalation exposure to indoor air pollutants and factors influencing exposure;
- Experimental characterization of indoor aerosols and other air pollutants, including source-resolved measurements;
- Modeling of indoor pollutant emissions, transport, transformation, and exposure, ranging from mechanistic or mass-balance approaches to more advanced computational models; and
- Related topics in indoor air quality, aerosol science, exposure science, and healthy buildings.
- Projects may combine controlled laboratory experiments, measurements in real-world buildings, data analysis, and modeling.
- A PhD degree, or a PhD nearing completion, in environmental, civil, chemical, mechanical, or architectural engineering, aerosol science, atmospheric science, exposure science, or another closely related field;
