Climate Research Position Opportunities
Southwest Climate Science Center, Southwest Climate Alliance
An alliance of six universities <www.southwestclimatealliance.org> has been
appointed by the US Department of the Interior (USDI) to host and support a
Southwest Climate Science Center (SWCSC). The host institutions seek to
hire several positions to contribute to a linked research program on
physical, biological, and societal aspects of climate change in the
southwestern United States. This coordinated effort will require a close
interaction across teams from the participating institutions, and
interaction with decision makers to inform integrated planning and
management activities under way throughout the region.
Expressions of interest for particular positions are solicited from the
following participating institutions.
1. University of California, Davis. A post-doc to help meet the needs
of the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management for
information on adaptive management in response to climate change. The
position will focus on modeling ecological responses of populations to
ecosystems and providing decision support for management of biological
resources. The post-doc will assist in translating the information directly
to stakeholders and agency representatives at state and regional levels. The
post-doc also will work to convey agency needs for information on climate
and climate variability to post-docs and researchers at UCLA, Scripps and
DRI/WRCC. Please contact Professor Mark Schwartz, <mwschwartz@ucdavis.edu>.
2. University of California Los Angeles. A post-doc working on
downscaling of climate model results via nested physical based models for
the southwestern United States and its coastal waters. This is an expansion
of the current UCLA physical based model to extents of 2 to 12 km. The
post-doc will also work to improve this model's ability to capture natural
climate variability. The post-doc will work with local Department of the
Interior agencies, US Forest Service, state agencies, and local and regional
water management groups. This post-doc will be working particularly closely
with colleagues at Scripps Institution of Oceanography to generate a
coordinated and comprehensive set of regional products. She or he also will
also work closely with DRI on presentation and visualization of results.
Please contact Professor Glen MacDonald, <macdonal@geog.ucla.edu>.
3. Scripps Institution of Oceanography/University of California, San
Diego. A post-doc working on downscaling and interpretation of observed and
model simulated climate and hydrologic variability over the 20th and 21st
centuries for the Southwest region. This post-doc ideally will be skilled in
statistical data analysis and synoptic meteorology and will use the
downscaled data products to study variability and change in temperature,
precipitation and hydrologic extremes. He or she will be interfacing with
the UCLA post-doc on fine resolution climate issues and with post-docs
working at other partner institutions on issues of instrumental climate
variability, ecology, hydrology, resource management, and social science, as
well as working with local Department of the Interior and state agencies.
Please contact Dr. Alexander Gershunov, <agershunov@ucsd.edu>.
4. Desert Research Institute, Western Regional Climate Center, Reno NV.
A computer scientist / climate analyst will work to improve the development,
enhancement, access, and visualization of climate databases to meet needs of
the SWCSC partners and affiliates. These needs span historical and ongoing
in situ observations and gridded or interpolated fine-resolution fields of
hydroclimatic elements, data integration, climate monitoring methods, data
search and interactive access and visualization tools, and applications for
climate adaptation that make use of projected conditions. Activities will be
informed by past and ongoing stakeholder interactions, and will be
coordinated with national RCC data management and access initiatives. These
efforts will also link with and serve the 5 CSCs the 14 Landscape
Conservation Cooperatives within the WRCC service region, and USDI agencies.
This individual will work extensively with post-docs at the other 5
institutions to ensure a comprehensive and highly usable suite of products.
Applicants at BS/MS/PhD levels with strong computer science and
physical/mathematical interests will be considered for permanent hire.
Please contact Dr. Kelly Redmond, <kelly.redmond@dri.edu>.
Within the research profiles outlined above, these climate science
researchers will also be involved in authoring of the Southwest Climate
Alliance's contribution to the United States National Climate Assessment.
Post-doc appointments are for one year at the respective institutions, with
performance-based extensions possible.
Information about the postdoctoral opportunities and the Southwest Climate
Alliance is available from <http://www.southwestclimatealliance.org/>.

Tenure-track professorship in the field of climate modelling offered at the
UGTO (University of Guanajuato, central Mexico).
Guanajuato is a very safe & friendly community and university town, see
<http://www.astro.ugto.mx/~kps/GTOimages.html> for photographs.
The astronomy department, which has a multinational faculty of 12
professors
from 6 nations, is hosting a meteorologic service for central mexico. It
runs a
network of automatic weather stations
and a forecast computer model, both managed by two engineers (see
<www.ccaug.ugto.mx, and www.astro.ugto.mx>).
With this tenure-track position in the field of climate modelling, and more
positions to follow in future years, the University of Guanajuato (UGTO)
wants
to establish a research centre
to investigate in detail climate change and its consequenses
for mexico. The pronounced central mexican topography, which is acting
as a barrier between the pacific and the atlantic weather systems,
requires global models with high resolution asigned to Mexico
- an interesting task still waiting to be done. In addition, some mild
teaching load is expected in very basic physics courses for
the undergraduate students of the science division in chemistry,
math and biology, or in form of a specialised course in atmospheric
science and computer modelling (in english, as choices for the graduate
programmes of astrophyscis, chemistry and math), until in a few years a
course
programme for atmospheric sciences will be established.
The suitable candidate will ideally have some time of post-doc
research experience in the field of climate modelling, some teaching
experience, and an appetite to found and foster a new research group.
External funding from different federal sources (technology, ecology and
science, offered by Conacyt), as well as local governmental
funding is available for propsals in the area of climate research,
to finance e.g. a parallel computing facility. Tenure is available already
after 2 years, and the initial salary can be nearly doubled
by additional, result-dependent components.
The original job offer (in spanish) can be found on the web-page of the
UGTO, <www.ugto.mx>, going to "profesores" and there to "convocatorias".
The application may be in english (prefered) or spanish and should
include the
typical requirements: CV with publication list and information
on past teaching experience, photocopy of the PhD certificate, a
research plan
for the next 2 years, 2 letters of recommendation, and contact details
(telephone and email). Interviews can be held via telephone, in english.
