Description
We are recruiting a post-doctoral research associate to make a multi-disciplinary assessment of the impact of natural gas decomposition to hydrogen and solid carbon, mixing policy, technical, and economic perspectives. This work is funded by a JHU Discovery Award entitled “The Carbon Age: Prospects for Lowering CO2 Emissions in the Short Term by Increasing Fossil Fuel Use?!,” a deliberately provocative title intended to spur creative analysis of whether emerging fossil fuel-related technologies may lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and what gaps in technology and policy exist to hinder adoption. The post-doctoral fellow will be supervised by Prof. Ben Hobbs (Environmental Health and Engineering, Whiting School of Engineering), Prof. Sarah Jordaan (Energy Resources and Environment, JHU School of Advanced International Studies), and Prof. Jonah Erlebacher (Materials Science and Engineering, Whiting School of Engineering). We especially encourage candidates with demonstrated capabilities or experience in energy systems and economics modeling. Familiarity with integrated national models such as NEMS or MARKAL is a plus.
Qualifications
A Ph.D. in an area relevant to the proposed work is required.
Application Instructions
Potential applicants should please apply directly here in Interfolio. Please include your cover letter, CV, list of names/contacts of three references, and copies of relevant publications. If you require sponsorship for work authorization, please be sure to include this information in your Interfolio package.
Questions can sent to Prof. Hobbs ( bhobbs@jhu.edu ), Prof. Jordaan ( sarahjordaan@jhu.edu ) or Prof. Erlebacher ( jonah.erlebacher@jhu.edu ) putting "Post-Doc Opportunity in Methane Decomposition" in the subject line.

To that end, the university does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic. The university is committed to providing qualified individuals access to all academic and employment programs, benefits and activities on the basis of demonstrated ability, performance and merit without regard to personal factors that are irrelevant to the program involved.

If you are interested in applying for employment with The Johns Hopkins University and require special assistance or accommodation during any part of the pre-employment process, please contact the HR Business Services Office at jhurecruitment@jhu.edu.

The following additional provisions may apply depending on which campus you will work. Your recruiter will advise accordingly.
During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment.
The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
