Looking to make a tangible impact on regional air quality? The Utah Division of Air Quality is looking for an Environmental Scientist III to serve as our Dust Scientist. In this role, you will be the division’s definitive subject matter expert and regional point of contact for all dust-related concerns. You will analyze historic Utah observations and benchmark ongoing research from other terminal lakes—like Owens Lake and the Salton Sea—to identify emerging environmental risks. By transforming data into actionable insights, you will advise the expansion of our monitoring network and shape the agency’s policy and modeling goals. If you are ready to bridge the gap between complex science, cross-agency collaboration, and public outreach, we want to hear from you.
