Postdoc Positions at Caltech

Research Areas

• Aerosol Sources and Impacts from National-Scale Observations

  The postdoctoral researcher will work on scientific applications of ASCENT, developing and applying advanced data analysis and modeling approaches to identify aerosol sources, track their transformation in the atmosphere, and quantify their effects on air quality, climate, and human health.

• Laboratory Chamber Studies -- SOA Formation and Oxidation Chemistry

  The postdoctoral researcher will conduct laboratory chamber experiments to investigate the oxidation chemistry and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from a range of emission sources, including anthropogenic, biogenic, biomass burning, and emerging or understudied sources.

• Aerosol Toxicology and Inhalation Health Effects

  The postdoctoral researcher will investigate how chemical composition of airborne particulate matter drives biological and immunological responses, integrating air-liquid interface exposure systems, 3D cell culture models, advanced imaging, and multi-omics approaches.

Qualifications

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in environmental sciences/engineering, chemical engineering, atmospheric sciences, chemistry, bioengineering, biology, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field.
