I have two open post-doc positions, administered by the U.S. National Research Council. Both are related to using ensemble data assimilation for purposes of predictability studies and understanding model errors. Both are collaborative with other labs and universities. The full opportunities can be viewed by following the links:

http://nrc58.nas.edu/RAPLab10/Opportunity/Opportunity.aspx?LabCode=62&ROPCD=621002&RONum=B7523
The next NRC review cycle begins Aug 1, and applications are due then. If you are interested, please contact me to discuss a proposal.
Non-U.S. citizens are eligible (with some exceptions).
Cheers,
Josh

Postdoc position working on the "Runaway Greenhouse" with flexibility to
take on other planetary atmosphere projects, based at University of
Washington, Seattle - and working with me at the University of Victoria,
British Columbia. Applications would ideally be received by the end of July,
but applications received until 12 August may still be considered. Contact
Colin Goldblatt (cgoldbla@uw.edu) and Victoria Meadows (
vsm@astro.washington.edu) with informal enquiries.

*Postdoctoral position in planetary atmospheres and astrobiology.*
The Astronomy department and Astrobiology Program at the University of
Washington, Seattle invites applications for a postdoctoral-level position
in planetary atmospheres and astrobiology. The successful applicant will
spend half of their time working on climate-modeling relevant to the "
runaway greenhouse" mechanism, which helps to define the inner edge of the
habitable zone, and the remaining time working on a negotiated science
project relevant to the larger science goals of the Virtual Planetary
Laboratory Lead Team of the NASA Astrobiology Institute. The successful
applicant will work with Prof. Victoria Meadows, and consult with Dr. Colin
Goldblatt at the University of Victoria.
A PhD in Atmospheric or Planetary science or a related field is required.
Applicants should have a strong background in atmospheric science, with
experience working on radiative transfer and/or climate modelling and
excellent computer skills (experience with Linux, Fortran and Matlab is
desirable). Existing publications in peer reviewed literature are highly
desirable. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required. The
position is for two years and may be extended if further funding becomes
available.
Please send (1) a 2-page statement of past research, highlighting experience
and interests compatible with the position; (2) a 2-page statement of
interests and goals; (3) a curriculum vitae and bibliography; (4) the names
and contact information for three people from whom we can request letters of
recommendation after creating a short list.
For full consideration, applications should be submitted no later than 31st
July 2011. Documents will be accepted electronically in PDF format sent to:
office@astro.washington.edu, with subject line "Astrobiology (your name)".
Informal enquiries can be directed to Dr. Victoria Meadows (
vsm@astro.washington.edu)
All participating institutions are Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employers.

The Climate Variability and Predictability Group (SERC Division) at the
Centro Euro-Mediterraneo per i Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC), in Bologna
(Italy) invites applications for a position in climate dynamics and
modeling. The 2-year position ranges from post-doc to junior scientist
depending on the candidate profile
(http://www.cmcc.it/about-cmcc/job-opportunities/job-opportunities), and
will be based at the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo per i Cambiamenti Climatici
in Bologna (Italy).
Work description: The successful candidate will be involved in the
investigation of the physical mechanisms underlying the predictability of
the global climate system, with a specific focus on the decadal and
inter-decadal time range, using data from the CMCC-CM coupled model and
other state-of-the-art climate models. In particular, the role played by
several components of the climate system, including ocean circulation,
sea-ice and land surface, on the predictive skill of climate models will
be analysed. Novel methodologies to improve the skill of decadal
predictions through appropriate initialization strategies will also be
explored.
Academic background and skills required: The ideal candidate should hold a
Ph.D. in ocean, atmosphere or climate sciences, or a related field.
Experience with climate models is required. Knowledge of statistical tools
for climate variability analysis is also desirable.
Application: Applications are accepted now until the position is filled.
For full consideration, please send a cover letter describing areas of
expertise and research interests, a curriculum vitae with a list of
publications, and the name and contact information of two references to
Alessio Bellucci (alessio.bellucci@cmcc.it).
Selection and attribution criteria: Candidates? curriculum vitae with
emphasis on prior experience with similar issues (climate variability and
predictability). Programming skills (Fortran, Matlab/Grads, CDO/NCO or
equivalent tools) will be taken in high consideration, but major emphasis
will be placed on scientific independence, creativity and originality.
