Job Description

Job Description and Duties

This position can be located in Sacramento or Riverside County.

This position is a 12-month Limited Term (LT) and may be extended up to 24 months or become permanent.

If you have permanent status and have passed probation, you have mandatory reinstatement rights into your former position/classification at the end of this LT appointment. You will be separated from state service if you have not had prior permanent or probationary civil service status. During this 12-month limited-term assignment, you may be entitled to receive health, dental, and vision benefits. You will also earn State Service and accrue monthly leave credits.

The Climate Change Mitigation and Emissions Research (CCMER) Section is seeking motivated individuals with strong scientific knowledge and technical skill to join our team as an Air Resources Engineer. The Section develops and conducts policy-relevant in-house and extramural research to support CARB mobile source programs and policies. Section’s research efforts are to understand in-use fleet emission characteristics to achieve further NOx reductions from heavy-duty trucks and off-road equipment, investigate the effect of various regulatory options using large datasets obtained by laboratory, remote-sensing, and engine and activity data-logging technologies, investigate potentials of low-carbon transportation technologies in implementing and developing emissions and greenhouse gas reduction programs and policies, characterize emission and socioeconomic benefits of low-carbon fuel and transportation technologies, and understand non-exhaust emissions such as brake-, tire-, and wheel-wear emissions.

Working independently and under the general direction of the Air Resources Supervisor I (ARS I), the incumbent should lead multiple research projects and enhance the scientific, analytical, and technical capacity of the Section. The incumbent should conduct technical and scientific evaluations of existing mobile source emissions research using scientific methods to manipulate, interpret, and analyze large mobile source datasets. A key role of the incumbent will be to work collaboratively with internal and external partners, identify and initiate exhaust and non-exhaust emissions research needs for mobile sources, conduct and manage research projects, and inform CARB programs with research findings. The incumbent should be able to work independently and collaboratively both within and beyond CARB, build consensus on research directions, participate in workgroups and committees of professional organizations for conveying CARB's perspectives on mobile source emission reduction and greenhouse gas mitigation, and maintain productive and collaborative relations with CARB mobile source programs, regional air quality management organizations, federal governments, the scientific community, as well as national and international industry stakeholders.
