Involvement
Opportunities
Workshops
& Lectures
Throughout the
year AirUCI
sponsors lectures by
some of the leading researchers in the field of Atmospheric Chemistry.
In addition, each year we conduct workshops that bring together many of these eminent researchers where the latest findings are shared and discussed.
You will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and attend lectures by registering with us. Check our Events page or request our newsletter for the schedule of upcoming workshops, lectures, lab tours, and other AirUCI events.
Summer Program for Grade 7-12 Science Teachers
Each summer AirUCI offers a two-week program for science teachers of students in grades 7-12. The program consists of lectures each day by the AirUCI faculty along with daily lab sessions. University credits are awarded and a stipend is provided.
For more information, please contact Professor Nizkorodov at nizkorod@uci.edu or (949) 824-1262.
AirUCI holds a Community Day open house on the UCI campus, with the next one scheduled for March 2010 . This event is designed to present an overview of our research to those in the community at large who may not have a background in science, but who nevertheless have an interest in air quality, climate change, and similar issues into which AirUCI conducts research. For a general idea of the event, see info about Community Day
If you are a community college instructor in Chemistry, you may apply for a summer research post with AirUCI. Our summer positions last for 10 weeks and involve experimental, theoretical, or modeling research in our labs at UCI. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in our workshops and attend lectures given by leading researchers in the field of Atmospheric Chemistry.
For more information or to apply, please contact Professor Barbara Finlayson-Pitts at bjfinlay@uci.edu or (949) 824-7670.
Postdoctoral Researcher Positions
Would you like to join our AirUCI team? We often have openings for postdoctoral researchers under each of our PIs. We encourage you to explore the work of the individual PIs on our People page and submit a cover letter and CV to the professor whose team you might like to join. You can also send them to Melissa Sweet at the address on our Contact page.
Are you concerned about the health of our planet? Are you looking to make a donation that will work to solve environmental issues and health concerns? UC Irvine’s vision is to grow AirUCI, our world-class environmental molecular sciences institute, as we address key atmospheric problems, including:
- air pollution and its control
- effects of air pollution on human health
- advances in energy development
- applications of these to climate change
AirUCI has a proven track record in these critical areas and has already contributed enormously to global research in these fields—and we are seeking support in our efforts to grow. AirUCI’s reputation as a leading institute in the field of atmospheric chemistry enhances the scientific prestige of the UC Irvine community, Orange County, the state of California, and our nation.
You can assist with an endowment, state-of-the-art instrumentation housed in an appropriate facility, and other support that will directly work to solve the environmental and health crises we face. For more information, contact:
