Postdoctoral position in climate dynamics and climate predictability
at decadal timescale
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CERFACS
Centre Europ?en de Recherche et de Formation Avanc?e en Calcul Scientifique
http://www.cerfacs.fr
Toulouse - France
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed term for 18 months starting from 1 January 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position funded by the
French Ministery of Ecology through the so-called EPIDOM project focused
on climate decadal variability and predictabity. EPIDOM aims at
estimating the level of climate predictability at decadal timescale, its
sources and associated physical mechanims as well as its uncertainty
with a focus on the North Atlantic-European region. At the national
level, EPIDOM coordinates the ongoing effort in France to produce
decadal forecasts for the CMIP5 database at the core of the next IPCC
report. The projects includes 4 partners namely Cerfacs, where the
postdoc will be based, IPSL/Paris, Meteo-France/Toulouse and ECMWF/Reading.
Among various tasks, Cerfacs has already completed a full decadal
forecast exercice based on the CMIP5 protocol. The work will involve a
detailed analysis of the model performance and the physical mechanims at
the core of the simulated decadal previsibility. Two possibilities
depending of the expertise of the applicants: a special attention could
be laid either on the ocean initialisation step or the role of the
stratosphere. For the latter case, numerical experiments including a
well-resolved stratosphere will be conducted for specific case studies
(decades where volcanic or solar forcing might be important) and
compared to the trospospheric version of the coupled model used as
default for CMIP5. For the former, the focus will be in running and
analyzing new sets of experiments designed to minimize the initial
shock of the forecast and ultimately improve the model skill.
You will work in close contact with the principal investigator (PI) Dr
Christophe Cassou, and will interact with other members of the Climate
Modelling and Global Change Team at Cerfacs. The group has a strong
expertise in ocean-atmosphere coupling on both scientific and technical
aspects (the OASIS coupler). The team benefits from the strong technical
support provided by a pool of research engineers who are experts on both
software and hardware modeling issues. This work will also involve
substantial collaboration with the other partners (Meteo-France and
IPSL). The position presents an opportunity for a strongly motivated
scientist to get involved in an exciting and challenging domain in
climate prediction science. You should hold (or have submitted) a PhD in
a relevant discipline (such as physical oceanography, atmospheric
dynamics and climate variability etc.), and have good scientific
programming skills. More specialist knowledge of global circulation
models is desirable.
Salary will be about 2300 Euros per month after social security deduction.
The application should include a curriculum vitae, a list of
publications and the names and email adresses of at least three
references. Applications should be sent to Dr. Christophe CASSOU,
CERFACS, 42 Avenue Gaspard Coriolis, 31057 Toulouse Cedex, FRANCE ,or by
email (christophe.cassou@cerfacs.fr)
