Job Purpose
At Leicester we're going places. Ranked in the top 12 universities in Britain our aim is to climb further. A commitment to high quality fused with an inclusive academic culture is our hallmark and led the Times Higher Education to describe us as "elite without being elitist".
A new role has arisen for a Scientist to act as the main point of contact in the new Regional Contact Office for the European Commission-funded DORIS_Net project. The primary role is to work collaboratively with potential clients, users or stakeholders to develop or support uses of GMES space and in-situ data in a variety of applications.
The closing date for this post is midnight on 26th September 2011.
We anticipate that interviews will take place on 18th October 2011.

Salary Range ?30,870 to ?35,788
Job Purpose
At Leicester we're going places. Ranked in the top 20 universities in Britain our aim is to climb further. A commitment to high quality fused with an inclusive academic culture is our hallmark and led the Times Higher Education to describe us as "elite without being elitist".
We are seeking a project scientist to work within the Leicester contribution to the CEC PEGASOS project. PEGASOS will undertake a series of studies aimed at quantifying chemistry-climate feedbacks. The job will consist of a combination of atmospheric process measurements using radical measurement instrumentation in the Po Valley in Italy. Laboratory experiments focussed on investigating the role of secondary organic aerosol in chemistry-climate feedbacks will be undertaken. The research scientist will also support and co-ordinate knowledge integration and transfer activities for the PEGASOS consortium, particularly in respect of the science policy interface of chemistry and climate interactions. You will work on atmospheric process measurements and knowledge transfer and integration with respect to policy.
The closing date for this post is midnight on Sunday 16th October.
We anticipate that interviews will take place on Thursday 3rd November.

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. This will lead to better parameterizations of lightning, which will allow lightning observations to be used for more precise validation of the deep convection predicted by global models.
The appointment will be for one year, if performance is adequate. The position may be extended for longer, depending on availability of funds and 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.

Faculty of Geosciences, University of Bremen, Germany
The Geosystem Modeling group (www.geo.uni-bremen.de/geomod) at the Faculty
of Geosciences,
University of Bremen, invites applications for a post-doctoral position in
the project
"EndLIG" (End of the Last Interglacial). Funded through the DFG Priority
Programme SPP 1266
"Integrated Analysis of Interglacial Climate Dynamics (INTERDYNAMIC)", the
project aims at
investigating the role of the hydrologic cycle and ocean circulation in
Northern Hemisphere
ice-sheet growth at the end of the Last Interglacial. To this end,
sensitivity experiments
and long-term transient simulations will be carried out with the latest
version of the
comprehensive global climate model CCSM coupled to an ice-sheet model
(Glimmer) in a
parallel supercomputing environment. The project is a collaborative effort
between the
Faculty of Geosciences and the DFG Research Center / Cluster of Excellence
"The Ocean in the
Earth System" (MARUM) at the University of Bremen.
Applicants must have a PhD in atmospheric, ocean or climate sciences.
Experience in numerical climate or ice-sheet modeling and scientific
computation (e.g. UNIX, Fortran) is mandatory. Strong oral and written
English language skills, and a disposition to publish results in
internationally relevant journals are required.
Salary will be according to the German civil service remuneration system
TV-L E13. The appointment is for two years starting January 1st, 2012 or
somewhat later if desired.
As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female
employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply.
In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification, disabled persons
will be given priority.
Complete applications should include a CV, a research statement and
names and addresses of two referees (all combined within a single PDF
document). Applications and inquiries should be directed by email to Dr.
Andre Paul (apaul@marum.de) or Dr. Matthias Prange (mprange@marum.de).
Review of applications will begin November 10th, 2011 and continue until
the position is filled.
