Post doctoral position in global modelling of marine aerosol
Job description
Finnish Meteorological Institute?s (FMI) Kuopio Unit is a research and
weather service unit located at the campus of the University of Eastern
Finland. Our main research focus is atmospheric aerosol particles and
their climate and health effects.
Currently we invite applications for a post doctoral position in the
project ?Current and future sources of cloud condensation nuclei in the
marine atmosphere? funded by the Academy of Finland. The position is for
2.5 years (with a possible extension of 1.5 years) starting from 1st
January 2012.
The overall aim of the project is to quantify how microphysical,
chemical and meteorological processes control aerosol properties and
their variability in the marine boundary layer. This will be done by
analysing a broad set of field measurements in terms of transport,
transformation and aging with a state-of-the- science global aerosol
model GLOMAP. The project will result in an identification of processes
with largest uncertainties in order to guide future process studies and
field measurements as well as in an improved aerosol scheme in climate
model ECHAM.
Qualifications
Candidates must have a PhD in natural or computational sciences, ideally
in the area of atmospheric, ocean or climate sciences, physics,
chemistry or engineering. In addition, strong numerical modelling skills
and fluency in English are essential for this project, and experience
with large scale atmospheric models, data analysis and meteorology is
highly desirable. We are looking to recruit a highly motivated scientist
with good communication and organizational skills who is able to carry
out independent research as well as work as a part of a team.
To apply
To apply, please send your CV completed with a list of publications, two
letters of reference and a brief statement of research interests to
<kirjaamo@fmi.fi> (and cc?d to<hannele.korhonen@fmi.fi>) by 30th
September 2011.
For more details, please contact Senior Research Scientist Hannele
Korhonen (<hannele.korhonen@fmi.fi>, +358-50-344 7116).

Postdoc position to model the spread of radionuclides from fires in
areas affected by Chernobyl and the consequences for human health,
ecology and biodiversity
Description: We seek applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position to
model radionuclide redistribution as a consequence of fires that occur
in the vicinity of Chernobyl. The disaster at the Chernobyl power plant
in 1986 released more than 130 PBq of radioactivity, with most deposited
in nearby areas of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Approximately half of
this material still remains after natural decay of radionuclides. More
than 10,000 km2 were heavily contaminated, and most human activity
including forestry ceased in these areas, causing accumulation of
firewood for the last 25 years. Because climate change has in addition
caused an increase in temperatures and a decrease in precipitation,
there is an increased risk of forest fires. Such fires are
disproportionately located in contaminated areas as revealed by
satellite images. Forest fires produce radioactive smoke that can be
transported and subsequently deposited in densely populated areas such
as Kiev and Moscow, depending on wind direction and patterns of
rainfall. Such redistribution of radioactivity could have dramatic
consequences for public health, but also animals and plants, and for the
possibility to grow crops and practice farming in large areas that are
not contaminated today.
The objective of this Postdoctoral Fellowship is to assess the
consequences of different kinds of forest fire (minor fires,
intermediate fires that affect 30% of the area, worst case scenario of
the entire area being affected by fire) on re-?-distribution of
radioactive material. The project will use a state of the art earth
system model in which a fire model, SPITFIRE, has been embedded. We will
model climate change, risk and distribution of forest fires and
determine risk of deposition of radioactive material transported by
smoke. We will calculate radioisotopes concentration and deposition
fields from which exposure doses can be derived. This will allow health
experts to quantify public health and biological consequences of such
re-?-distribution of radioactive material.
At an early stage in this work a workshop will bring together fire
experts, health experts and ecologists to assess the current state of
understanding and the uncertainties associated with modeling fires and
radionuclides. The position is for 24 months, and we would like the
candidate to start at or close to October 15th 2011.
Candidate background: We seek candidates that have a thesis, a superior
ability to write papers, and familiarity with numerical modeling. The
applications should include a resume, a statement of research interests
and the names of at least two references including e-?-mail addresses
and telephone numbers.

Research Associate (Postdoctoral)
Department of Geography and Environment , Boston University, USA
Goal: Investigate changes in the characteristics of weather and climate
extremes over the United States using novel statistical techniques
combining observations and numerical climate simulations
Project description: The project is funded by the Dep?t. of Energy and
focuses on detecting ?hot spot? regions?as well as ?flare ups? within
the hot spot regions? that have experienced climate-induced interannual
to multi-decadal scale variations in seasonal-mean precipitation and
extreme event occurrences. In order to address this question, we will
be applying novel statistical techniques to long-term climate data and
climate model simulations in order to determine uniquely whether, and to
what extent, precipitation over regions of the continental United States
is changing as a result of changes in the underlying climate of the
region. Further we will use these techniques to highlight the role of
stochastic and deterministic processes in producing these seasonal-mean
precipitation variations and extreme event occurrences, with a goal of
identifying regions with high potential for making skillful predictions.
Qualifications: A PhD in atmospheric, hydrologic, or closely related
physical science, or statistics. Desired qualifications include
significant experience in statistical analysis of observational and/or
numerical modeling data and good oral and written communications skills.
Applicants should send the following materials by email (Subject:
?Detection Postdoc?) to Prof. Bruce T. Anderson at <brucea@bu.edu>: (1)
a cover letter describing research interests and experience, (2)
curriculum vita, and (3) names and contact information for three
references. For full consideration, applications must be received by
October 15, 2011. The position is open until filled; start date is flexible.
