Postdoctoral fellowship on the climate impact of improved
cryosphere-atmosphere-ocean interactions.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center invites applications for a postdoctoral
fellowship with a primary focus on the climate impact of improved ice
sheet, ocean and atmosphere interactions. The research involves
incorporating state of the art ice sheet models to the coupled
atmosphere-ocean general circulation model, ModelE, and to investigate
the sensitivity and the feedbacks of the atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere
coupled system, along with its impact on the climate, ice sheet and
sea-level evolutions. The time scales considered range from twentieth
century simulations, paleo-climate, and future scenarios and will use
paleo, in situ and satellite observations for evaluation.
The applicant must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, oceanic science,
glaciology, physics or related field. Advanced scientific programming
skills are crucial and familiarity with Fortran is a plus.
The work will be conducted at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
in New York City, and a competitive salary is offered. The tentative
start date is August 1, 2011 and the initial appointment is for 2 years.
For further information, please contact Sophie Nowicki
(<sophie.nowicki@nasa.gov>) or Gavin Schmidt (<gschmidt@giss.nasa.gov>).

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary
center for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany. It has an
internationally recognized reputation in climate modelling. The MPI-M is
currently developing a next generation earth-system model, ICON. To
strengthen these efforts we are looking for a
Scientist/Postdoc (m/f) - 2011-14 -
with a strong background in numerical modelling, high-performance computing,
interest and/or expertise in atmospheric processes, and a passion for
scientific research. The successful applicant will be part of a research team
at MPI-M working to further develop and apply ICON for climate research.
His/her initial task will be to help transform ICON from a working prototype
into a full-fledged atmospheric model.
A Ph.D. in applied mathematics, meteorology, oceanography, physics,
engineering or a related area is required for this position. Excellent
programming skills (Fortran), experience in computational fluid dynamics and
an ability and desire to work as part of a team to help maintain a clean,
robust, and flexible source code are essential skills. Good oral and written
communication skills in English as demonstrated by a publication record are
also required.
The Max Planck Institute is located in the heart of one of Europe's most
liveable and vibrant cities it provides a highly international and
interdisciplinary environ-ment for conducting scientific research as well as
access to state of the art scientific facilities. For further information,
please contact Prof. Bjorn Stevens (bjorn.stevens(at)zmaw.de). Applications
should be forwarded to the address indicated below.
The position is initially offered for three years, but can be extended
depending on funding and progress. Payment will be in accordance with German
public service positions (TVoeD E13), including extensive social security
