We invite applications for a post-doctoral research associate at the Hawaiian Institute of Geophysics (HIG) in the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA. The project is being organised jointly with the School of Earth and Environment at University of Leeds, UK. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to study lightning?s environmental dependencies with a state-of-the-art model of the aerosol-cloud interaction. The main goal of the project is to understand the influence from diverse environmental factors, such as instability and aerosol loadings, on the lightning of a cumulonimbus cloud.
The appointment will be for one year, if performance is adequate. The position may be extended for longer, depending on availability of funds and on performance. Scientists with a strong background in atmospheric modeling and in either mesoscale meteorology or cloud physics are encouraged to apply. Candidates must have a PhD in meteorology or a related field (e.g. physics, atmospheric science) with modeling and programming experience. Applicants may have any nationality. The stipend will be between $55,000 and $60,000 for the year, depending on experience.
Enquiries may be made to Dr Barry Lienert (lienert@soest.hawaii.edu) at HIG in University of Hawaii or to Dr Vaughan Phillips at University of Leeds (v.phillips@leeds.ac.uk<mailto:v.phillips@leeds.ac.uk>).
To apply, please send a curriculum vitae and a letter of interest to: Dr Vaughan Phillips, Lecturer, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom (email: v.phillips@leeds.ac.uk; Tel: +44 (0)113 343 6429). Specify contact details of 3 referees who can provide letters of support for the application. Evaluation of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Postdoctoral Researcher in hydro-climate predictions and impact assessments
The Computational Earth Sciences group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks to hire a Post Doctoral Researcher to participate in research on understanding the roles of natural and anthropogenic forcing in near-term decadal-scale regional hydro-climatic variability over continental United States and South Asia. In addition, the research will also focus on the projection of potential impacts of decadal-scale regional hydro-climatic variability on energy, water resources and associated critical infrastructures. This research will use a suite of Earth system models and statistical techniques to downscale predictions from a multi-model ensemble of IPCC-AR5 GCMs to an ultra-high horizontal resolution of 4 km over the United States and the South Asia.
The successful candidate will be expected to 1) develop and perform experiments with regional and hydrological models on Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) 2) present the research at national and international conferences, and 3) report results in peer reviewed journals, technical manuals, and conference proceedings.
This position requires a PhD in Atmospheric and Hydrological Sciences or a related field within the past five years from an accredited college or university. Candidate is expected to have a strong understanding of North American climate and/or South Asian monsoon system. Experience in the use and application of a regional climate model and/or a hydrological model, and ability to perform advanced data analysis on large datasets is required. Excellent interpersonal skills, oral and written communications skills, organizational skills, and strong personal motivation are necessary. Ability to work effectively and contribute to a dynamic, team environment is required. Ability to assimilate new concepts and adapt to a rapidly evolving scientific and computational environment is necessary. Experience with numerical methods, parallel algorithms, MPI, FORTRAN, C, C++, and parallel software development on large scale computational resources will be an advantage.
We anticipate it to be a two years position, dependent on continuing funding. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Technical Questions: For more information about this position please contact Dr. Moetasim Ashfaq (mashfaq@ornl.gov<mailto:mashfaq@ornl.gov>). Please reference this position title in your correspondence.

This appointment is offered through the ORNL Postgraduate Research Participation Program and is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). The program is open to all qualified U.S. and non-U.S. citizens without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or disabled veteran.

Scientist ? Ensemble Prediction System
?25,500 with progression to ?31,500 or ?29,930 with progression to ?38,325 depending
on skills and experience
Based in Exeter
Full-time, fixed three year contract
This is an excellent chance to join an unique and high profile organisation with an excellent
reputation that?s home to world-class science and cutting-edge technological capabilities.
The role
This is an opportunity to play a key role in a new project aimed at providing improved
projections of future climate variability and change. These will be designed to inform
climate adaptation decisions with potential to affect millions of people worldwide. You?ll
enjoy a high profile ? both within the Met Office and in the wider climate science community.
Specifically, your remit will be to provide the groundwork for the construction of a new
modelling system for predicting climate anomalies and extreme events over the next
30 years. You will run and analyse experiments that test how well our latest computer
models handle climate predictions, and how well we represent uncertainties in the results.
Your judgements and feedback will inform the way we develop the new prediction system.
The person
With a relevant PhD (or equivalent postgraduate experience), you?ll ideally bring us
strong research experience in climate or weather systems, most likely with a similar
organisation or with a leading university. Your background will almost certainly be in
maths or the physical sciences. To succeed, you?ll also need an innovative, incisive
approach to problem-solving coupled with the all-round communication and
team-working skills to convey both your enthusiasm and expertise to colleagues
collaborating on this project.
About the Met Office
Beyond weather. That's the best way to describe our work here at the Met Office.
With some 1,800 people across 60 sites around the globe, we provide world-leading
weather and climate services in the UK and overseas. Today, our products and
services meet the needs of many different customers - from the general public,
