Qualifications
- MTech/PhD in a discipline related to air pollution, atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, or equivalent.
- Should have studied chemistry/atmospheric chemistry and meteorology in Master’s degree/PhD coursework.
Experience
- A minimum of 2 years of research experience in WRF-Chem, CAMx, and/or any chemical transport model during MTech/PhD.
- Having peer-reviewed journal articles published in international journals would be an advantage.
Skills Required
- Skilled in programming languages and data analysis tools like FORTRAN and Python/R.
- Experience in running WRF/WRF-Chem/CAMx model on HPC platforms.
- Ability to work within a Linux/Unix environment.
- Ability to handle large volume of datasets (NetCDF, HDF, GRIB, ASCII, geo-referenced data).
