Do you want to make a difference on how CARB protects the health of communities impacted by industrial facilities (e.g., chrome platers) and other sources of toxic emissions, then we want to speak with you. The Toxics Control Section, within CARB's Transportation and Toxics Division, is looking for a person who is creative, highly motivated, team-oriented, and self-starting to help us with our efforts to reduce air pollution in these impacted communities. We are searching for an individual who will join a team of scientists and engineers who work on implementing and developing air toxic control measures (ATCMs) and other air toxics and community-related programs and projects, as needed. The individual will work on technology reviews for the chrome plating and anodizing industry, perform emissions and engineering calculations, work on cost analyses, develop surveys and interpret results, utilize source testing data, air monitoring, perform and interpret the results of health risk assessments and other health analyses, and analyze and advise on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analyses. The position provides the opportunity to work with a large variety of CARB team members, affected communities, air districts, the department of defense, and industry on exposure reduction strategies. There may also be opportunities to create technical tools to improve the toxics program, to evaluate and illustrate reductions in health impacts, and represent CARB at forums and workshops. This position requires a person who is very comfortable working on projects both in a team setting and alone, as well as interacting (both verbally and in writing) with the public, industry, air districts, and other governmental agencies.  The successful candidate needs to have good writing skills and be capable of communicating effectively with a technical audience, while also being able to translate highly technical material for CARB management and staff, government agencies, community members, industry, and other stakeholders.
