Are you passionate about empowering communities with the data they need to understand and improve local air quality? Are you interested in leading a talented team responsible for managing, analyzing, and interpreting community-scale air monitoring data? The Special Assessment Branch (SAB) within CARB’s Air Quality Planning and Science Division is seeking a highly qualified and motivated Air Resources Supervisor I (ARS I) to lead the Community Air Quality Section (CAQS).

CAQS is responsible for compiling, analyzing, and disseminating air quality data to support communities across California. This includes a broad range of comprehensive analyses to better understand local air quality patterns and trends. To support this work, the team develops and maintains data tools and platforms. For example, in alignment with AB 617, CAQS leads the development and maintenance of CARB’s Community Air Quality Viewer (AQview), a cloud-based platform that provides access to localized air quality data, to specifically address exposures to harmful pollutants in California’s highly pollution-burdened environmental justice communities. The Section’s responsibilities also include conducting community-scale data analyses, supporting air monitoring efforts, and tracking the progress of emissions reduction strategies. Additionally, CAQS plays a key role in communicating findings in accessible ways and informing decision-making through data interpretation. Overall, CAQS leads efforts in data management, analysis, and visualization to enhance community-level understanding of air quality and advance environmental justice goals. 

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 CAQS. Please note that this position is eligible for up to 20% telework, with the remainder of the work expected to be performed in the office. Occasional travel may be required.
