Subject: PhD Assistantships for experimental/field research on
cookstove emissions at NCSU

One or two funded graduate research assistantships to support PhD
studies starting in Spring, Summer or Fall, 2014 are available in the
Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at
North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Raleigh, NC, USA. Highly
motivated students are sought to conduct field- and lab-based
experimental research on emissions from solid fuel use (cookstoves) in
developing countries, with a focus on India.
One position will focus on in-field measurement of technology adoption
and performance and air pollution exposures, in collaboration with a
diverse team of engineers, atmospheric scientists and social
scientists studying the impact of upgraded stoves in rural India. A
second position will focus on lab and field measurements of secondary
organic aerosol production from the aging of biofuel combustion
emissions.

Required qualifications for interested students include an MS in
environmental, chemical or mechanical engineering. The ideal
candidate(s) will have a strong background in air pollution, aerosols
and/or atmospheric chemistry, instrumentation, laboratory and/or field
measurements and some prior international/field work experience.  Some
hands-on experimental experience is required and some background in
scientific computing applications for data analysis (e.g. Igor Pro or
Matlab) is highly desirable.

These projects are amazing opportunities for the right individuals to
do high quality technical research (in the lab and in far-flung
locations) on a pressing global problem affecting billions of people
around the world. NCSU is in the vibrant 'Research Triangle' area of
North Carolina and our group has ongoing relationships and
collaborations with local research institutions (US EPA, RTI,
UNC-Chapel Hill) and other domestic and international collaborators
making for plentiful opportunities for professional interaction.

Interested candidates are encouraged to email a brief statement of
research interest, CV, unofficial transcript(s), test scores (GRE and
TOEFL as applicable), a sample of technical writing and contact
details for three references as a single PDF file to: Dr. Andy
Grieshop at agrieshop at ncsu.edu with subject line "Cookstove
assistantships" for assessment before submitting a formal application.
