Abstract
I am Colleen Marciel F. Rosales, a 4th year PhD candidate at Indiana University. I work on the measurement and modeling of hydroxyl, hydroperoxy and peroxy radicals using a laser-induced fluorescence technique using our home-built instrument. I have participated in three field campaigns (ambient and indoor, including HOMEChem) and this summer, I am on my fourth field campaign, working on ambient radical chemistry.

Previously, I was a project officer for a wind tunnel fabrication, and I have had internships at a non-government organization (Clean Air Asia) and a government research institute (Philippine Nuclear Research Institute). I was also an instructor of record for chemistry four years at the University of the Philippines.

Because of my experience in chemical instrumentation (laser and vacuum systems, detection of radicals using fluorescence, detection of gases using spectrophotometric techniques), I am seeking job types like Technical Applications Scientist or Instrumentation Design Scientist. I would like to provide technical support to researchers that use advanced technologies. Because of my recent work in indoor air quality, I am also very interested in air quality consulting jobs such as Air Quality Scientist or Consultant. I believe my experience in modeling and simulations as well as various programming languages (Mathematica, MATLAB) also make me fit for jobs that require air quality modeling, such as regulatory or nonprofit work. I am open to Research Scientist or Project Scientist jobs that mostly focus on air quality, most especially secondary atmospheric and indoor chemistry. I am also be open to postdoctoral fellowships.

My anticipated job availability is Fall 2021 onwards. I am open to work in the Midwest area, most preferably in Indiana. I am also open to remote work.
