This position is situated within the Research Division and is designed for a technically inclined manager with strong leadership capabilities. The successful candidate will oversee a team of research scientists who are engaged in designing and conducting research projects aimed at enhancing our understanding of atmospheric processes and the sources of air pollution that impact regional air quality, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley and the South Coast regions of California. The research team utilizes in-house measurement tools to study air pollutant sources near population centers and assess air quality disparities across various regions. Under the guidance of an Air Resources Supervisor II, the selected candidate will lead the Atmospheric Processes Research Section, which comprises experts with diverse experiences in data analytics, ambient air monitoring, computer programming, air pollution modeling, and effective communication. This section plays a crucial role in supporting the development of State Implementation Plans (SIPs), evaluating short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emission reduction strategies, and improving the characterization of various air pollutant emission sources. Additionally, the team is proactive in studying the effects of climate change on California's air quality and leads specialized projects that deploy multiple mobile platforms to address local air quality challenges throughout the state. This position is ideal for individuals who wish to leverage their leadership and management skills alongside their scientific knowledge to tackle complex air pollution issues in a collaborative environment. The most competitive candidates will demonstrate strong leadership and management skills, a solid understanding of atmospheric chemistry and environmental science, and the ability to communicate effectively in both verbal and written forms. Candidates should also possess analytical and problem-solving skills, an intuitive grasp of quality assessment and control techniques, and familiarity with Federal, State, and local air quality regulations. The role requires excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to produce both technical and non-technical documents clearly and concisely.
