Mandatory requirements: Applicants must have a strong academic background in Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Physics, Environmental Engineering, or related fields, hold a PhD degree, and demonstrate proven experience in experimental research. The following qualifications will be particularly valued: experience in atmospheric pollutant sampling and monitoring techniques; knowledge of the physical principles governing the operation of sampling devices, aerosol generation, and airflow dynamics; as well as experience in the operation and calibration of environmental monitoring instruments. Desirable requirements: Additional qualifications that will be considered an advantage include experience with environmental exposure chambers, aerosol generation systems, real-time particle monitoring, and programming and data analysis tools such as Python or R. How to apply: Applicants are required to submit the following documents: a Curriculum Vitae (CV), a summary of the main research findings and achievements obtained during their PhD, and two letters of recommendation. The documents must be sent to maria.andrade@iag.usp.br (Prof. Maria de Fatima Andrade). This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality.
