CSIRO's Climate, Nature and Community Resilience program is seeking a Reactive Gases Scientist to join the Atmospheric Chemistry – Climate and Air Pollution team. The team combines observations, atmospheric chemistry and modelling to provide critical scientific information that informs responses to air quality and climate change challenges. In this role, you will lead and develop a portfolio of long-term and campaign-based observations of key reactive gases and their interactions with atmospheric composition and climate. Your research will span surface ozone, oxidized nitrogen compounds and volatile organic compounds, as well as aerosol chemistry and the formation of secondary organic aerosols. You will operate and develop advanced research-grade instrumentation, lead the delivery of high-quality observational datasets and work across nationally and globally significant platforms, including the Kennaook – Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station and the Research Vessel Investigator. Working with CSIRO, government, academic, industry and community partners, you will translate atmospheric chemistry expertise into practical solutions with real impact.
