FINAL FILING DATE: 11/12/2025
DESCRIPTION: The California Air Resources Board is the State's lead climate mitigation agency.: The Lands and Climate Science Section (LCSS) of the Research Division (RD) conducts comprehensive research to assess the direct and indirect interactions between air quality, climate, and Natural and Working Lands (NWL). The research informs the policy decisions related to Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) mitigation strategies focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across California while providing benefits to local and regional air quality.
The candidate will work closely with a team of experts with breadths of experiences not limited to data analytics, contract management, ambient air monitoring, computer programming, air quality and emissions modeling, and communication. The section collectively evaluates the direct and indirect interactions between air quality, climate, and NWL in alignment with AB 1757, AB 617, the Scoping Plan, and the State Implementation Plan (SIP) objectives; supports the policy decisions related to Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) mitigation strategies; informs emission inventories, natural carbon sequestration efforts, and nature-based climate solutions programs; and conducts research to advance the methodologies for tracking GHG emissions and reductions, carbon sequestration, and other benefits from NWL.
