The Environmental Sciences Department of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is seeking an assistant scientist to work with instrumentation and conduct original research on atmospheric particles and precursor gases. Primary responsibilities will include support of ongoing field operations, instrument development, and scientific interpretation of data.

The successful candidate will be familiar with the principles and practice of particle measurement technology, with a broad understanding of atmospheric aerosol physical and chemical processes. Broad laboratory and field experience in one or more areas of aerosol instrumentation (size distribution, optical properties, and chemical characterization) is essential. Experience in measuring aerosol precursor trace gases is desirable. The position requires excellent communication skills, experience in data processing coupled with formal quality assistance/control, and the ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team.

At BNL, an assistant scientist is a member of the scientific staff, works under minimum supervision, is responsible for independent scientific inquiry in programs that may be broadly formulated by supervisory staff, and requires a doctorate. Publication of research in scientific journals is expected.
