Vacancy: Postdoctoral Research Associate in Carbon Cycle Data
Assimilation at the University of Bristol, UK
The School of Earth Sciences is looking to appoint a Research Associate
with a strong background in applied mathematics or physics to be
responsible for the further development and coordination of the Carbon
Cycle Data Assimilation System (see http://www.ccdas.org ).
You will be part of a team further developing a world-leading system
capable of quantifying terrestrial and oceanic sources and sinks of
carbon dioxide through the assimilation of various data sources
(atmospheric CO2 concentrations, satellite-derived vegetation cover,
etc.). The aim of the project is to give a quantitative estimate with
uncertainties of todays and future carbon sinks of the lands and oceans.
This estimate is urgently needed by policy makers to adequately plan
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
You will work as a researcher for the CARBOCHANGE project
(http://www.carbochange.eu/) and will assist the team in Bristol in
implementing an additional oceanic component, and proceed to developing
prognostic capabilities for CCDAS.
The post will initially be available for 19 months, with a likely
extension to a total of 2.5 years.
If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a
permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant
research experience. Further information can be found at
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/
Salary: ?29,972-?37,990
Closing date for applications: 9.00 am on 12 September 2008

Postdoctoral positions in the field of atmospheric composition and its
evolution
The LATMOS laboratory, located at the University Pierre and Marie Curie in
the center of Paris, invites applications for 2 postdoctoral researcher
positions funded by the European Commission. The contracts will start
between autumn 2011 and early 2012.
The proposed work will contribute to the following European projects:
- ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) running from 2011 to
2015 (see
http://www.upmc.fr/en/press_office/press_releases/arctic_ocean_under_close_surveillance_at_upmc.html).
The goals of the ACCESS project are to evaluate climatic impacts in the
Arctic on marine transportation, fisheries, marine mammals and the
extraction of hydrocarbons for the next 20 years, with particular
attention to environmental sensitivities and sustainability. The Arctic is
a region undergoing unprecedented changes. The work at LATMOS will focus
on quantification of the impact of local emissions (shipping, resource
extraction) and remote mid-latitude pollution on present-day and future
air composition in the Arctic. The LATMOS group will also participate in
an aircraft campaign which will provide data on emissions and plume
dispersion from shipping and oil/gas extraction. The post-doctoral work
will focus on global and north-hemispheric scales, and links with regional
modeling work.
- MACC-II (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate):
http://www.gmes-atmosphere.eu/gmes-atmosphere.eu ? planned to start early
2012 for 3 years. The goal of MACC-II is to provide state of the art
simulations of atmospheric composition for recent years using models run
on the operational system at ECMWF, as a well as results for monitoring
present conditions and provision of chemical forecasts, for example, for
field campaigns. The available position will focus on the quantification,
harmonization and evaluation of surface emissions at the global and
regional scales, the participation in a pilot study of the use of inverse
modeling techniques to improve emissions in the context of the MACC-II
modeling work. The LATMOS group will also participate in the development
of a new emissions database for atmospheric constituents, and will work
with other European groups on interconnections between different databases
for emissions, observations and modeling results.
Qualifications and requirements for the positions:
- PhD in atmospheric sciences or in a similar field
- Experience in atmospheric chemistry modeling / analysis of atmospheric
observations / surface emissions
- Programming skills in Unix/Linux, Fortran, and scientific visualization
programs (Matlab, IDL or NCL)
- Good English language skills
- Willingness to work in an international framework, and to attend the
different meetings organized within each project.
Review of the applications will start mid-September 2011, and will
continue until the positions are filled. The positions are available for
2-3 years. To apply, send a detailed CV (including a list of
publications), a letter of motivation in English, and the email addresses
of two academic referees to:
Claire Granier: claire.granier@latmos.ipsl.fr
and
Kathy Law: kathy.law@latmos.ipsl.fr

Post-doctoral research position on the ?Regional modelling of short-lived
climate forcers? at Laboratoire Atmosph?res, Milieux, Observations
Spatiales (LATMOS), Universit? Pierre et Marie Curie/CNRS, Paris, France
************************************************************************
A research position is available for 2-3 years to work on the ECLIPSE
(Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants)
project recently been accepted for funding by the European Commission. The
main goal of ECLIPSE, which involves several European groups, is to
develop and assess effective emission abatement strategies for short-lived
climate forcers, notably tropospheric ozone and black carbon, in order to
provide sound scientific advice on measures that mitigate climate change
and improve air quality at the same time. A key part of the work will be
to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of global chemistry-climate
models used to assess the climate and air quality impacts of short-lived
climate forcers. In particular, the work at LATMOS will be to carry out
high-resolution case studies using the WRF-Chem model over major emission
regions. Long-range transport between pollution source and receptor
regions (such as the Arctic) will also be investigated. Process based
analysis of ozone and aerosols through comparison with observations will
be used to evaluate model performance.
Applications are invited from post-doctoral researchers with a PhD in
environmental or atmospheric sciences and ideally experience in running
chemical-aerosol models and data analysis. Candidates should have a good
working knowledge of computer programming (Unix, Fortran, IDL/Matlab/NCL),
be proficient in English and willing to work in an international framework
attending project meetings and conferences. The position is available from
late-autumn 2011.
To apply send a detailed CV (including publication list), a letter of
motivation (in English) and email addresses of 3 referees to
Kathy.Law@latmos.ipsl.fr and Jean-Christophe.Raut@latmos.ipsl.fr.
Review of the applications will start in mid-September 2011; the position
is open until filled. LATMOS ((http://www.latmos.ipsl.fr/ ) is located in
central Paris at the Jussieu campus of Universite Pierre et Marie Curie
(http://www.upmc.fr/en/index.html ). It is a joint CNRS/university
laboratory which is also part of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace
(http://www.ipsl.fr/). It carries out research into a wide range of topics
related to atmospheric science.
