POSTDOCTORAL SCIENTIST in Economic ModelingPosition Description: The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is devoted to the integration of social science, natural science and policy analysis as applied to global environmental issues, primarily climate change. A major focus of economic component of the Program's research involves development and application of a multi-sector, multi-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the world economy. A regional model of the US economy is in preparation.We seek an economist with experience in energy and environmental modeling to advance Program modeling and research in two broad areas:
The position is post-doctoral research associate. The appointment is for three years with the possibility of extension depending on funding and performance. Requirements: A Ph.D. in economics or equivalent background plus experience with CGE modeling and with GAMS/MPSGE and previous work on issues of energy and/or environment is of particular value. The ability to work with an interdisciplinary group to meet objectives of the broader Program is essential.
To apply, send a current CV and letter of interest to:

POSTDOCTORAL SCIENTIST in Atmospheric Climate ModelingPosition Description: The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral scientist to study the impacts of climate change. The successful applicant will join an effort to use 3D atmospheric and coupled climate models to study climate change impacts, which will include, but are not limited to, the effects on atmospheric chemistry, ecosystems, water resources, and human health. This will be a major component of the MIT Integrated Global System Model and used to explore uncertainty in climate predictions and policies.Requirements: A Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences is required. Experience with atmospheric general circulation models is strongly preferred, particularly CAM and/or CCSM. Familiarity with a parallel computing environment and climate models is desirable. Salary is negotiable. Proposed start date is as soon as possible. The initial appointment is for two years with a possible extension of up to two additional years depending on performance and availability of funding.
To apply, please send a curriculum vitae, a letter of interest with the names of three references to:

PROFESSOR of Atmospheric ChemistryJob Description: The MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, within its Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate, seeks applicants for a faculty position in atmospheric chemistry. Areas of specific interest include multiphase (gas, aerosol, cloud) chemical and physical processes, and the multiple roles of atmospheric chemistry in climate. Our preference is for a scientist with strong laboratory and/or field measurement experience but scientists with outstanding theoretical and modeling experience applied to field measurements are also encouraged to apply. Depending on accomplishments and experience, the appointment can be at any level including Full Professor.Requirements: The successful candidate will have an outstanding record of accomplishment in their discipline, a strong commitment to teaching and student advising, and an abiding interest in relating their work to complementary work in the atmospheric and climate sciences at MIT. Joint appointments with other MIT departments are also potentially negotiable where appropriate. More information about this position can be obtained by writing to Professor Ron Prinn, MIT Room 54-1312, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambrdige MA 02139. E-mail rprinn@mit.edu. To apply, please send your curriculum vitae, a statement of your research and teaching objectives, and the names of 5 potential references to:
