Research assistantships are available for highly qualified Ph.D. applicants to the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University at Albany. With funding support from NSF, NASA, and DOE, we are currently seeking applicants interested in studying the key processes controlling the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric particles and understanding the climatic health, and environmental impacts of these particles. The research involves carrying out simulations with an advanced particle microphysics (APM) model implemented in several community models (GEOS-Chem, WRF-Chem, CESM) and comparing model results with multiple-platform aerosol measurements. Applicants having a strong background in physics and meteorology are welcome to apply. Interested prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr. Fangqun Yu (fangqun.yu@asrc.albany.edu; http://www.albany.edu/~yfq). For general admission information, see http://www.atmos.albany.edu.

UAlbany undergraduate students, who are interested in our research and have strong background in atmospheric sciences, physics, or chemistry, are encouraged to contact me for possible undergraduate research opportunities.
