About this position
Georgetown University’s Greenhouse Gas Lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to interdisciplinary research on atmospheric trace gases and climate policy.
The project will address one or both of two research areas: developing improved annual estimates of landfill methane emissions, and investigating the production, emissions, and atmospheric processes affecting F-gases regulated under the Montreal Protocol. The work uses quantitative modeling to generate evidence that can inform environmental policy.
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to collaborative projects and work within Georgetown’s vibrant, growing community of interdisciplinary Earth and environmental scholars. Potential research activities include analysis of landfill observations or emissions inventories, atmospheric surface or satellite observations of trace gases, modeling of atmospheric circulation and trace-gas emissions, and computational or Bayesian analysis.
The position is based in Washington, D.C., and offers an opportunity to develop research expertise at the intersection of atmospheric science, greenhouse-gas emissions, quantitative methods, and climate policy.
Funding details
The position is a full-time postdoctoral appointment for approximately two years, starting as soon as January 2027. The salary is approximately $70,000 per year.
What's required
Applicants must have a PhD by the start date in Climate Science, Atmospheric Science, Statistics, or a related field. Desired qualifications include expertise in quantitative modeling, computational and/or Bayesian methods; landfill observations or inventories; atmospheric surface or satellite observations of trace gases; modeling atmospheric circulation and/or trace-gas emissions; strong written and oral communication; strong collaborative and organizational skills; and interests or expertise in climate policy.
