Postdoctoral Position at the Geophysical Institute - University of
Alaska Fairbanks
A postdoctoral position is available to join a growing research group
focused on numerical modeling of anthropogenic emissions and extreme
aerosol events in Alaska. The primary responsibility associated with
this position is to conduct research to assess temporal and spatial
variations of anthropogenic water vapor emissions in the Arctic. A focus
of the funded position will be modeling the respective microphysics and
related visibility constraints due to ice fog. Candidates need to have a
strong background in physics, and extensive IT and programming skills.
The position is aimed to improve the capabilities of the Weather

PhD position at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
Applicants are invited for a funded PhD position starting in fall 2011
as part of our volcanic ash modeling efforts. The project aims at
investigating the dispersion of volcanic ash in the atmosphere using the
Weather Research and Forecast Model with inline Chemistry (WRF/Chem). A
variety of volcanic eruption models are used to initialize WRF/Chem. The
models will be verified using case studies worldwide with the specific
purpose to provide improvements for the modeling basis of volcanic ash
concentration calculations. Methods will include model inter-comparison
and testing of satellite remote sensing algorithms; operational tools
are developed to support volcanic ash advisory centers.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in geophysics
with emphasis in atmospheric sciences and fluid dynamics. Excellent
programming skills are required.
Interested applicants are welcome to contact professors Martin Stuefer,
<stuefer@gi.alaska.edu>, or Peter Webley, <pwebley@gi.alaska.edu>.

coupling.
The position will be based at Aspendale, Victoria, as part of the Centre
for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR) - a partnership
between CSIRO and the Bureau of meteorology.
Location: Aspendale Victoria, Australia
Salary: $73K - $82K per annum plus up to 15.4% Superannuation
Ref No: VIC00824
Tenure: Indefinite/Ongoing
To be successful you will have a:
. B.Sc. (Hons) with major in computing or physical sciences, or
equivalent relevant experience
. Demonstrated experience solving technical computing problems
associated with the development and use of large scale numerical models
. Highly developed skills in Fortran 90 (preferred) or C++ programming
and UNIX shell scripting.
. Ability to work flexibly and independently as well as part of a team

This position is part of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate
Research (CAWCR), a partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of
Meteorology, which is leading development of an Earth systems model
known as the Australian Community Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) for
application across a range of time scales from numerical weather
prediction to climate change projection. The model includes atmosphere,
ocean, sea ice and land-surface components, and will include an
interactive carbon cycle, and eventually provide for the modelling of
the interactions and feedbacks between human activities and the climate
system.

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is a multidisciplinary
centre for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany. It has an
internationally recognised reputation in climate modelling. Within the
project MiKlip (Mittelfristige Klimaprognosen, Decadal Climate
Prediction) by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF) we are looking for a
Project Manager (m/f, SAS2011-21)
with a background in climate science and outstanding organisational and
communication skills. Within the Director's research group in the department
"The Ocean in the Earth System", the successful applicant will be in charge
of running the MiKlip office. MiKlip is a EUR20-million, 4-year national
project consisting of 35 individual sub-projects distributed over numerous
German research institutions. The MiKlip Project Manager will be in charge of
the organisational coordination of MiKlip.
The successful candidate will work closely with the team, also hosted by
MPI-M, that establishes, operates, uses, and improves the pre-operational
MiKlip central decadal prediction system. Improvements to the central
prediction system will arise from research across all of MiKlip, organised
through 4 Research Modules. The Project Manager will work with the MiKlip
coordinator and the Module coordinators to organise the assembly of the
Module deliverables and their exploitation in the central prediction system.
Moreover, the Project Manager will handle all communication across MiKlip at
large and between MiKlip and its partners and users.
A degree in a climate-related science is required; a Ph.D. and experience in
climate research or project management are desired. Further essential skills
are the ability and desire to work as part of a team and the ability to
communicate in both German and English to the funding body and the
participating scientists. Extensive domestic and some international travel
are part of the duties.
The MPI-M is located in the heart of one of Europe's most liveable and
vibrant cities. It provides a highly international and interdisciplinary
environment for conducting scientific research as well as access to
state-of-the-art scientific facilities. For further information, please
contact the MiKlip coordinator, Prof. Jochem Marotzke
(jochem.marotzke(at)zmaw.de), or Dr. Wolfgang Mueller
(wolfgang.mueller(at)zmaw.de). Applications should be forwarded to the
address indicated below.
The positions are initially offered for three years starting immediately,
with the possibility of one year's extension. Payment will be in accordance
with German public service positions (TVoeD E13), including extensive social
security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and
duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of
Sciences and those of the German civil service. The Max Planck Institute for
Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages
them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive
preferential status.
The selection process will start on 30 September 2011 and will continue until
the position is filled. Please submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae,
and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of two references via E-Mail:
