Air Resources Supervisor I

Are you a collaborative and forward-thinking leader with a passion for emissions inventory development? We’re looking for a motivated and experienced professional to manage the Area Source Improvement and Community Inventory Development Section (ASICIDS) in the Special Assessment Branch (SAB) of CARB's Air Quality Planning and Science Division.

ASICIDS is responsible for developing and updating emission estimation methods and producing estimates of sector-specific area-source emissions to support the State Implementation Plans (SIP). The Section is also responsible for developing comprehensive, neighborhood-scale emission inventory methods and emissions for all air pollution sources (stationary, mobile and area) to support community-level programs, such as communities selected under AB 617. In performing these tasks, the Supervisor and Section staff work closely with inventory, planning, research, modeling and other groups across CARB as well as with air district inventory staff and other local, state, and federal agencies. As needed, the Section may lead or collaborate with others on assessing or conducting research to better understand the state-of-science processes, data, or factors associated with specific emission sources. The Section also focuses on developing new advanced state-of-the-science methods, and modern, dynamic, and accessible visualization tools for inventory development, validation and public dissemination. To ensure seamless coordination on both the SIP area source methods and the community emission inventories, the Section works closely with other sections in the Branch and the Division, the Office of Community Air Protection, and other CARB programs and teams.

Under the general direction of SAB’s Air Resources Supervisor II (Branch Chief), this position is responsible for supervising, planning, organizing, and directing the activities and staff of the Area Source Improvement and Community Inventory Development Section.
